These questions can help you gauge the tenant's reliability and suitability for your property.

And don’t worry—I’m definitely not a Russian bot or a scammer living off energy drinks and Doritos in a basement in Estonia.

However, health concerns forced me to step away from the hustle about 6 years ago.Fast forward to today, I'm officially retired and living in sunny California with a renewed sense of energy (and much better health!).

They take more time, energy, stress and definitely more capital.

Hi Christine, for a successful out-of-state investment, carefully research and select safe, high-demand neighborhoods in Memphis or Columbus, consider the potential benefits of duplexes for better cash flow, and engage a reliable property management company to handle local operations efficiently.

My educational background includes a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in finance, a commercial real estate certificate, and a minor in building construction and project management, with a focus on energy-efficient housing.
