are you making a trip, or trips, down to Orlando to look at places?

Buying in small towns can also limit you access to trades or they charge you more for the trip. 

The only thing we suggest to our guests is if they are able to start the dishwashwer before they leave it is helpful to our cleaners, but otherwise just lock the door when you leave and have a safe trip home.

Also, I am just not sure how many people are doing road trips in the winter (I would and should do more), but not sure everyone loves the snow and winter like I do.

I advise everyone I talk to about remote investing to take your time and take a trip to see who it is you'd be working with before you start buying. 

Most likely the state where the property is located is where lawsuits would be brought if they are something for personal injury like a trip and fall or something of that nature because the “cause of action” arose in that state.

IRR calculations will always benefit the shorter round trip investments, so not the best deal metric to focus on.

distressed properties do occasionally hit the MLS at a good price, but not very often.my second real estate purchase was out of state, it was just a cosmetic rehab and i had to make several trips up to corral everything and get it rent ready. 

The more you can develop that growth mindset the better off you will be, but it will also take a couple trips and faceplants!
