This is a fairly common issue with older properties  where root structures create a dislocation in the line causing constant backups and the only remedy is replacement.

Heck, I don’t even enjoy driving, would much rather have a chauffeur 🤩 But if he does and can make a fortune doing it, then cheers to him and that business.  

If you can find local deals (within 2 hours of where you live) that make sense, they can be gold mines. 2 hours seems to be the max that most people would drive if you HAD to do your own showings or move-in prep and local management proves unreliable.

I'm so deep in this that I can't see it clearly so please tell me what you would do in this situation.

Hey MatthewThis question comes up multiple times a month and I (as well as others) have gone into some deep posts about it. 

What it will do is drive a lot of part-time agents out of business who slipped into a buyer agent role by simply being there at a showing.

I have had several friends suggest that it would be wiser to start off with rentals within driving distance of where I live. 

It wasn't until I narrowed my focus on ONLY ONE THING general contracting that things fell more into place...My advice is to educate as much as  possible and find a niche that you can dive deep into.Meeting in person is where I found some of my best friends and mentors in the space.
