@William BohanWell, owning out of town means finding good "people" to manage and support your investments... 

You can use other people's money if the numbers work.

Investing always looks scary I don’t wanna lose money. my monthly payments are 3k including taxes I am in NJ so property taxes on an acarage house is still high Investing can be scary. 

Your income isn't high enough for it to make sense as a rental and the closer you get to your residence limit the greater pressure you will have to sell it before losing your exclusion in whole or part. 500k right now can make $15k per year income with zero maintenance or tenant risks. 

Unfortunately, we picked a bad time, because a game just finished, and people were streaming out of Wrigley Field.

If you build a buyer's list and you send them deals where the repair costs aren't close, you will lose them.

The seller will lose some rent, potentially incur costs to evict, possibly costs to clean out the units depending on your sales agreement.

Weather cools, people are busy with school, resting from summer, prepping for the holidays, etc.

This resulted in literally weeks of delays, which contributed to the closing being postponed and rescheduled, losing our locked interest rate.A big gap in the overall Kiavi process is that we never received detailed introductory emails about the steps of the refinancing process.

Learn the eviction procedure for your area, perhaps contact a lawyer in the field to help you with this one, and get the fraudster you're currently housing out on the sidewalk to sleep in a cardboard box where they belong.You're going to lose plenty of money here, but this will never happen to you again, and you can minimize your losses if you move as quickly as possible.
