If its going to be a 2 day drive or a 7 hour/$1000 airplane adventure with a 3 hour layover in the middle, not so cool.Both of the properties are also places we don't mind going so its not a huge hassle if we need to drop in.Taxes:  The taxes get significantly more complicated with new state returns.  

I’m so happy to be here and would love to connect with like minded individuals 😁Welcome!

Is there a way I can meet local like-minded investors in my area within BiggerPockets?

I could go on and on but some folks have their minds made up until they find a superb agent who takes their craft seriously.  

Hi Niece, I'd suggest you get involved with other like minded folks at your local real estate group.

We don't mind a fixer upper / BRRRR

@Chris Berry I’m currently with Peace of Mind.

Like in my mind that is truly the last thing on earth that I could imagine to mess up my real estate investment plans with some idiot with a stolen car crashing into your property and escaping and I imagine how you felt when you found out.  

Keep in mind that I'm in a rural market. 

I love the story of your artist friend, honestly it never came to mind to incorporate the two together for a marketing hook!
