investing driving distance is usually just a false sense of comfort. there's really not much of a difference between buying 2h away and 1000 miles away, especially if you're not a property manager or contractor by trade. investing somewhere that's truly a great market to invest in, is more important than convenience.- regarding LTR MTR STR, owning each type of rental comes with a different workload/lifestyle.

Your deal was the best one I ever invested in. I

@Ariella Jacques yes, the rate will be higher and you won't be able to get as much money out of the property as you put in.  I

I live in the bay area which I know is an extremely difficult place to start investing in. I

The electricity is turned off because he never put it in his name upon moving in. I

I went out right after posting my little freak out and hired a lawn care team of people whom I knew their work was good, hired a cleaning service to deep clean the property, and focused on getting fully moved in.  I

When finding what market to invest in, I would identify industries with positive growth trends, analyze market reports, industry publications, and economic forecasts, consider emerging markets and technologies.I live and invest in Columbus and think it is a great option to consider.

My goal now is to get a multifamily property no more than $250,000 and put 20%-30% down, get a property manager, and put an extra $4-$5k per month into the principal to pay off the mortgage in less than 3 years, but I don’t know what state to invest in, I know Ohio is being looked at but I wouldn’t have to time to see multiple properties in person and I’m not sure how to verify the operating expenses of different properties, required repairs, etc. 

I don't want people settling in.  I

I believe the work I put in is so worth the equity received.
