I've also heard anecdotally on BiggerPockets that the concept of other States being super landlord friendly is sometimes overblown (in other words, sometimes even in the most landlord friendly states, things can get sticky)In other words, I'm not sure how much the potentially friendlier landlord laws would convince me to purchase far away in other state, when that also comes with its own challenges (the inability to self manage, property management fees, etc) This debate on whether I should locally invest vs out of state has left me wasting time so now I feel I just have to make a decision and go for it. 1.

Ultimately, adopting an investor mindset means being proactive, staying informed, and continuously seeking knowledge to make informed decisions.
