David Greene has a book about long distance real estate investing right here in the BP store.

I found a box in the middle of the yard...a green rectangle.

I'm interested in connecting on both casually and professionally, so would love to hear from seasoned investors and the greenest of the green.

If it's a bad deal, then yes, I could see a need for all the fluff to convince a green investor to buy it. 

Now would be the time to tell me because I'm still green myself, haha.

Just picked up David Greene's book and excited about the opportunities that are out there. 

@Bob Green when you say “time frame” are you asking time of year or at what point of the collections do you file to start the process?

A few recommendations:- "E-Myth Revisited" by Michael Gerber (this will have you working on your business instead of in your business)- "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter (this provides a more foundational perspective on money)- "Cashflow Quadrant" by Robert Kiyosaki (further builds on the "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" foundation)- "Set for Life" by Scott Trench- "Long-Distance Real Estate Investing" by David Greene- "The Book on Managing Rental Properties' by Brandon Turner and Heather Turner- "The Miracle Morning" by Hal Elrod-"HOLD" by Gary Keller (geared toward SFR)-"The ABCs of Real Estate Investing" by Ken McElroy (geared toward commercial investing)"Multi-Family Millions" by David Lyndahl (This is on my list of "To-Reads".

After you have a good team in place, people whose advice you trust, if you feel you have the "green light", dive in.
