Quote from @Srikanth Kumar: Hi Everyone,I’m relatively new to long-distance investing and am exploring the purchase of multifamily properties in Cleveland.

Conveniently located in Bryan TX, within walking distance to A&M Bus stop and a short 5 minutes drive to College Station, home to the largest university in the state, Texas A&M.

I recommend reading “Long-Distance Real Estate Investing: How to Buy, Rehab, and Manage Out-of-State Rental Properties” - I found it to be very helpful when I got started investing 2.5 years ago.

Personally, I would never invest in a place I didn't even visit and also meet/interview the people who would be involved (agent, manager, contractor, etc.)

I have seen two cases where it went the distance and the buyers successfully sued for specific performance.

Choose the Right LocationProximity to Campus: Prioritize properties within walking or biking distance to minimize transportation costs.Safety and Security: Research neighborhood crime rates and local security measures.Access to Amenities: Look for nearby grocery stores, healthcare facilities, and entertainment options.3.

This will save you time and effort, as you won’t have to travel long distances to manage different properties or handle tenant issues.For your first investment, I suggest starting with 2-4 unit properties.

Climate refuge is a genuine priority for many and a reasonably distanced retreat or refuge has perhaps never been more valuable?

Are there any markets you would recommend for long distance investing?
