If you are buying in a more metro area, there will be lots of choices.In our area, we are quite rural and I couldn't guarantee that I would find the resources to do setup completely remotely.

We are currently investing 1000 miles away and doing our second flip there. 

We are all about saving money on flips and renovation efforts.  

In the past two years we have completed over a dozen flips, We are holding 20 rental units self managed and 2 self managed Air BnBs.

We are finding many properties needing light to moderate rehab in the 100-125K range.  

For our second STR, we are currently researching Sherman, potentially / ideally, a less expensive duplex that we could rennovate and self manage from Dallas with workers coming to the area in mind. 

@Rolayne Taylor We are just alike I started in 2019 with my first house hack.

We are at the top of this boom cycle, and the time is not right for the average buyer to make that move in many areas.Keep in mind that the faster/higher the boom, the faster and more severe the bust. 

Especially not when rates are where they are, inventory is still pretty tight, and rent/unemployment is on thin ice.

we are still doing deals in commercial but mostly in the retail/med space.
