congrats my friendHere is one piece of advice I have for you:As you attempt to find what area to invest in, use this website https://www.areavibes.com/Its a great resource and starting point for what an area might look like and it has something called a "livability score".

Over the weekend I finally saw the bldg and boy what a piece of sh!

However, I'm not 100% sure this was actually a mistake.

There was a great feed the other day with about 35 awful pieces of advice which mostly noted: "quit claim deed the property"...

I've got a property under contractPurchase price $78K out the door (I have cash to close) Intent: build on the property which already has a functioning well, septic, and needs PGE installed Total buildout on the prope...

I think they are the most critical piece of the puzzle when investing from a distance.

I only buy the Aquasource Henshaw White Watersense Elongated Height 2-Piece Toilet from Lowe's (item number 98923 model # T802).

As you begin you REI journey here is a piece of advicecheck out this website for a great over view of a city https://www.areavibes.com/This website gives you a total livability score and you can see things like crime rate, housing, walking score and more.Best of luck!

I would start by finding areas you actually WANT to live and go from there.Picking a place to call home simply because it has a real estate market that you feel will fit your goals is a great way to end up miserable. 

I am glad you highlighted the management piece as this is a crucial part of buying in another market.Excited that you are stabilized and are generating cash flow on that deal.
