I did the math and could cover the mortgage solo if needed.

I work with a lot of househackers and they're typically on the 12 month cycle, rinse and repeat.While the proposition of acquiring an investment property outside of your market in a "landlord friendly" state may sound appealing, i would recommend you stay local for now and househack another couple of properties over the next few years until you've got some more time / experience under your belt.you would need a management company to cover your property that is outside of your market which would not only take 8-10% of your gross it would also leave you a bit vulnerable to a property management company that you A.)know nothing about and B.)you won't have the experience or cashflow or proximity to deal with any headaches that may arise.i would recommend staying local and househacking your way along for now and then maybe hire a local property management company initially to work with your current/local properties to get a taste of what to expect if and when you begin investing outside of your market.

Holding a piece of real estate over time that a resident provides every dollar you will need to cover the holding, maintenance costs, and financing costs, all while it goes up in value, is the same with a property marketed "turnkey" as it is with any piece of real estate. 

So focus on lead generation.Once you have that covered, then yes you do need to have a bit of insight on the workings of the transaction.But all this should be easy to figure out the moment you keep commonsense in play.Start with getting in touch with a wholesaler-friendly attorney for your closings (if you are in an attorney state), and build a relationship with him (that is also what I did)..He should guide you along the way as you go.

Hey Sean, Thanks so much every day is a day closer to it happening while covering the investment as much as i can. 

Where another issue arrises is I recently quit my job after becoming pregnant as they would not cover my maternity while overseas, my husband is employed however he works for a UK company and is British so would be unlikely to help us with the situation in the US.

Covering my bases!
