However, I’m wondering if anyone here has had success investing OOS in locations hundreds or even thousands of miles away and still managed to maintain solid cash flow.Have you been able to overcome the challenges of investing in a distant market, and what strategies or systems have worked for you?

They all think they are going to a meeting and the lovely Christina is going to be there to show them how to remodel a home.The folks that are TV reality show stars ( other than ARmando) simply rent their name and make a bundle doing that. they might show up at the big event and talk for 30 minutes shake some hands and down the road they go.

Curious to get anyone's thoughts that have done both!  

Other than that, you will need to network with a lot of people to find seller finance deals.

Hey @Justin Brown, what @John Underwood said is spot on.SLC has been restricting STRs for a long while now and it isn't going to get better.People who have STRs in areas where they are not allowed are breaking the law and will eventually pay the price.Having said that, you should check and see if there are certain areas where it is allowed in some way and that is why they exist there.

However, if you want long-term stability and predictable payments, refinancing might be a better option, especially for larger projects.

Sorry @Kathy Merkh, but you are not going to get an investment loan at 5% for 20 years.

Also the ability to repay -  your source of income. 

SB-9 allows for lot splits, which could create a chance to maximize the value of the land by creating 2 separate lots.

competing against those in the industry is very hard .. .And your not going to have any luck trying to daisy chain these deals .
