You have to start surrounding yourself with people that are already doing what you're trying to do.

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.

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. 

Lastly, surround yourself with experienced investors who can offer advice and support along the way.
