Try to rehab a house 2,000 miles away with no money as a beginning investor.I basically had to run a pyramid scheme in order to finish this project.

The apartment will be 10 miles to work instead of 40 miles (saving money on gas).

We are based in NYC but are considering (as of now) locations outside of NY but within a 300 mile radius. 

He mentioned the distance to the nearest fires (about 20 miles), but the bank isn’t budging.

I have found that going that extra mile, like the couch covers etc and making sure the person with the disability has the easiest time visiting our place.As someone with a disability (I have a degenerative neurological disorder) and use a cane, I like to make sure folks with similar issues have a good time.

The unit is within blocks of Harvard University and a billion other universities are within a few miles.

The more challenging stipulation is you would need to use it more than 50% of the time for business use (and you need to log the miles to document that).  

I considered adding a universal gym but will go with billiards and foosball instead.There are more spas in this STR market than EV chargers ((only 5 or 6 units have a EV charger), yet it is about 200 miles from the nearest large metro (too far for most EV to go without a recharge).  

So - somewhere 2 hours away, or somewhere you like to vacation in, or where all your family lives, or where you plan to move someday.Too many people are trying to do exactly what you're doing - pick a market based on a formula - and they end up buying a random 'cheap' property thousands of miles away, turn it over to people they've never met or even spoken to, and then... lose money.  

CA has more than half of the nations homeless/unsheltered persons.
