I was going out once a month when things got bad (frequently) ... factor that into your costs and hassles.You don't really learn much going out of state compared to hands on locally, so you don't improve as quickly as an investor.Add up all the extra aggravation, risk, and costs of all of the above, and OOS is not nearly as attractive.

Saves you aggravation and stress, and most of the time speeds things along for you.i have referrals in Lake County, IN if you need, message me privately.

However, tenants can still be plenty aggravating regardless of what you tell them.

It was aggravating to see how little the homeowner would budge, but I don't want to lose a good deal over a few hundred dollars.

I made a few $$$ on it, but it was not worth my time, aggravation, etc.Raymond

Save yourself money, time and aggravation, study the book and apply it's principles.

And there's the aggravation of being a landlord to consider as well.

Personally, I don't sell my flips to buyers using FHA / VA / USDA insured buyers...just too much aggravation.

This will save you time and aggravation chasing the tenant for his rent payment.

It costs me a few hundred dollars to do it this way, but I don't like the aggravation of having the seller know what I am making on the transaction.
