Do you ever fly back to Houston to look at the properties you’re investing in or do you just trust who you work with?

I’m flying there tomorrow to do some more due diligence.

I stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn right there in the heart of all the action and down by the lake, did the syrup tour @ Bragg Farm Sugarhouse and even had a pretty big bird decide to take off as I was passing it and fly across my windshield and hit it with the sound of a big "THUNK" while driving to the Bragg Farm.

Only thing that could make something 'too far' is if it is a total pain to get to/fly to if you need to go out to it for some reason.I manage my out-of-state properties with property managers, and I buy turnkey to alleviate a lot of risks of rehabbing and all that jazz.You may need to find a market and properties before you find the property manager.

My brother actually inherited 50 acres and a house in TX recently - he is flying out next month to put together a plan for using that equity for investing in RE here in Bama.If I can help in any way, don’t hesitate to reach out!

We were all flying high for a good number of years, then the number of str's grew so large that the locals lost their minds and started fighting tooth and nail against us.

I plan on buying a multi-unit ( up to 4 units) in FL. I

@Dave Nixon Interesting you picked up on this...small town churches are dropping like flies...I manage large capital improvement projects on institutions...just keep in mind that you'll be working with a lot of different entities, including an architect/designer, engineer, industrial compliance...likely other entities from the government and/or municipality...lots of moving parts.You should be aware of Asbestos abatement and concerns like underground storage tanks...which are very common in all these buildings you are referencing...design and abatement fees may run hundreds of thousands of dollars before the project even starts...Not saying you can't pull it off, just be aware...good luck! 

I'm in Ft Walton Beach/Destin on the Panhandle of FL. I

If you don't, you're flying blind and that's no way to run a business.3.
