My Real Estate plan is slow and long, I don't plan to live on the income so it may take me a few years to justify a $2k expense for a conversation or for a CPA to handle my returns.

That said, I wanted to share my story about how I found an out-of-state property, got it rented, and set it on autopilot.BackgroundI’m in my late 20s, living in a very high cost of living city and working in tech.

I think it's just for text, not to talk with a live person.

I sometimes wonder if people just feel lazy dumping their money into an index fund in the stock market and actually using all that free time to go out and live life.

I assume you want to live in one side of it?

Housing is one of those things that people like to scream about, but the reality is that there are more than enough places for everyone to live.

The person worked for H&R Block, now works for TurboTax Live and is being honest about their skills: NOT QUALIFIED.

If it is cluttered buyers will have a harder time visioning themselves living there. 

Just google the following: - special assessment - zombie condos - Florida condos (look for recent news)Since you are not living near the properties anyways, why not look in a landlord friendly state where the purchase prices are lower?

Even if buying a property Subto in GA and you live in FL, you could miss something and the whole deal does a "crash and burn".
