Many of the investors that I work with are from the West coast or the Northeast and it just doesn't make sense for them to invest around where they live.  

Quote from @Kyle Barnhart: I live near Phoenix and looking to invest locally.

And you probably need money for living expenses.

Metron and Southern Water Management are two that we've been talking to.

That way, her limited funds can go toward her own living expenses. 

Complaints are always dicey when you live or have property in a jurisdiction they scan your license plate and have visibility into your property that may negatively impact you in the future.  

You said public water was available...would the lots require a septic system to be installed or is public sewer available? 

Note that water penetration is not limited to flooding from rising water levels on the ground in a weather event.

I'm more interested in purchasing 10 homes to have fully paid off by the time I retire, as I'm not living on the cash flow w/ current job. 

I am new in BP, and I am looking to understand where I start with learning about REI.I currently live in New York which it's not a good place to start investing.i know the difference between STR,MTR,LTR....
