David,Yes, investing out of state can be a wise choice especially if you live in a State like CA, NY, NJ, CT where home prices are over priced and taxes are brutally high.

However, it's a deal in a different state and during the Facetime showing, I could tell the tenants were gross and makes me think they don't care about taking care of the place or their living conditions.

I now live out of state, but I still have a 4 acre property near the crossroads (on 111 & near 77) in Lavaca County, TX that I need to do something with.
