I feel like it takes me too long to check yes or no on listings even after narrowing it down to my purchase price.

Selling the house and borrowing against it can give you a different amount, and that would be your start to narrow down your options.Can you use it to buy a house cash and have enough to renovate it?

A lot of investors can create passive income by being out-of-state although it does require more networking and thorough vetting of the team you work with.Getting yourself connected to a local realtor who is familiar with the investing market will then hopefully allow you to connect to boots-on-the-ground teams and property management companies who can protect your asset(s) and your interest.Right now, the mid-west markets are doing really well - you can stretch your dollar further as property is typically cheaper but still allows you to hit a great ROI with the right homes in the right areas (this is where your connections come in).Social media, like Facebook, BP, and Instagram will give you insight in narrowing down what markets may interest you most - some of these can be hard to get into so utilizing social media to your advantage to grab off-market properties in appreciating neighborhoods will be key.Best of luck to you!
