Buying an out of state rental property from a realtor, wholesaler or off facebook or zillow etc as opposed to from an operation or turnkey provider who has an active, substancial, and effective boots on the ground team or teams to support you after you close on the sale. 

You can clearly see the fruits of your labor are paying off to how dialed in and sold out you are.

But, I bet-ya it's also effective.  

A generic program can’t be tweaked enough to make it effective for any particular deep niche.  

And, capitalism works to lower housing prices when this process is allowed to go into effect. 

They told me about this area Kenmore which is the next area to be transformed by the city and my investment will be very fruitful.
