@Luke PetrozzaI wonder if your a distant relative?

For this reason, I would not recommend anyone use the listing agent as a buyer, as they will obviously only steer buyers to their own listings and have their own interests in mind first, the seller’s interests second, and the buyer’s a distant third.

If you do these correctly, you can succeed taking certain well analyzed risks including "cheating" (i.e. unpermitted structures or extensions, STR arbitrage against lease terms, not paying occupancy tax (in the distant past), relying on an easement that does not exist, etc). 

I also understand that long distance investing is done, however, I would argue that for my own comfort, I would rather have done 1 or 2 houses (live-in flip) or rentals prior to distant investing. 

I avoid more distant sub-markets like Eden, Asheboro, etc. - their population and income growth projections are not good as they have not recovered from manufacturing job losses.

I suspect plywood will drop 50% in the not too distant future. 

I hope by the time you are reading this your bed bugs are a distant memory.  

We have a distant view of the Gulf about 9 or 10 houses back. 

I would be far more concerned with the 11 year old's replacement in the not do distant future...Just remember, Fair Housing!

I have family in Kanata and would like a property no more than 30 minutes distant.
