I am the Chairman of the Wicosnin Real Estate Investors (formerly WAA) we do the lobbying on behalf of the Wisconsin landlords at the state level. 

@Derick JenningsGreat to see you diving into real estate investing!

Would love to chat with you further about your real estate goals!

I've been learning real-estate for over a year.

Having a long-term rental while living abroad is do-able.Flipping houses while abroad, in my opinion, more difficult, especially if its your first go around with real estate.I would recommend taking a flight and staying in the area for a week and inspect the neighborhoods and make connections.You can reach out to @Elenis Camargo who has a PM company in Jacksonville.Best of luck though.

Since REI Nation has had real experience here, I was genuinely curious to hear their thoughts.  

OTM = General, overhead/widescreen view of nationwide market tends.BPRE = Detailed ways specific people are making money in real estate.

Just google the following: - special assessment - zombie condos - Florida condos (look for recent news)Since you are not living near the properties anyways, why not look in a landlord friendly state where the purchase prices are lower?
