Don't forget when it comes to friends and distant family members, once they learn about you having a spot in Florida, most will try to ask you for a free place to stay or a big discount.

sounds like an amazing opportunity. i'm not quite ready to jump into distant rentals, otherwise i'd put my name in the hat. 

If you're going to be a long distant landlord, you need to get your house in order and fast!

A few areas that I am specifically interested in are:- Getting started investing in high COL areas- The ins and outs of purchasing property in NYC- Building the right team- Leveraging FHA and other first-time buyer programs that I might leverage- Meeting and building relationships with local and distant investors

Then there are water heaters and AC units, etc.As a result, living off of cash flow seems like a distant dream.

It’s hard if you are working with someone new and at a distance, for which I roll a fudge factor back into my overall formula as an insurance policy, which honestly, kills most distant deals.

As any business owner should do.I’ve had a rental property in the distant past, and I’ve hosted short-term rentals.

In the not so distant past, I've dealt with the LADBS on a smaller project...At that time just knew the city was 'slow' and had to be 'worked through planning'.

Maybe in the distant future, but certainly not today.

Mailing is a distant second choice.
