AZ and NV offer opportunities that are a day's drive or flight away that might be easier to manage and even better if you can self-manage.

However, It seems like there is alot of opportunity in FL and it is only a short flight away. 

Avoid properties on main streets (traffic noise, avoid homes near freeways (smog/traffic noise), avoid homes without garages if most other homes have garages, avoid being in airport flight paths, avoid over building or over rehabbing for the area comps, know how to properly and accurately estimate ARv and rehab costs, and have money lined up in advance.

A couple months before I sold, I put them up as a flight special for $45. 

I helped 2 buddies buy condos on Okaloosa island within the last year who did the exact same thing - they're here for 12 months for flight upgrade training.Happy to recommend cleaners, management software/products, or listing advice when the time comes.

Maybe communicating it more will help, but you cannot make people read.As a guest I would find making my own bed especially after a long drive or flight would be annoying. 

And fly to the area multiple times - if you can't afford to do this I would say someone isn't ready to invest OOS (any potential property issues are going to cost more than a flight, hotel stay and a rental car.

Good neighborhoods within the city are harder to find than in the rurual areas or suburbs do to the urban flight still continuing. 

I’m still in the education path and ready to take my first flight soon. 😂😂😂.

The bonus of Mexico is the cheap, short, easy flights.
