many houses in the midwest, for example, are very old and need major rehabs.i personally think out of state investing is more difficult than advertised, and much more difficult in the current investing environment, with: prices high; interest rates high; tremendous demand for inventory, by both investors and retail buyers; and good PMs, contractors, etc. booked up.here's a really thoughtful thread with the experience of another CA investor and lots of different responses:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/1215726-break...and here are some threads about how it can very easily go wrong:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1159104-overl...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/963/topics/1195280-expe...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1160450-run-i...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1137397-balti...finally, you also said you "don't have a lot of money to start with." 

I had one were we did not get to it for a while 6 months or so it was just boarded up.. when i went to sell it wholesalers were going through it said it smelled bad.. one of them finally went down to the basement and found a corpse that had been for quite a while. scared the heck out of him..

Let is know what finally happens and if you are able to solve the issue.

So far, I think one of my biggest lesson on 2024 is that I finally I decided to take an action and started looking for my first real-state property. 

Many lessons have been learned firstly is you can’t be too nice or trusting and second is, don’t wait to figure out the refinance and cash out process and until you are almost done with rehabbing the property because currently going through a very lengthy, cash out refinance ordeal at the moment as I’m trying to get financing terms finalized as we speak.

I dont know how many units you are talking about, my biggest problem was tenants having easy access to me.I finally decided to use a software and got an internal property manager so moved away from it.Currently setting up the maintenance request portion of it, so will see how it goes.

As you mentioned, it might be difficult timing the sales of each of properties where you can achieve a combined exchange (multiple properties into 1 property / or a few properties).Just a quick note that may be helpful - I work with a group of investors that can help with a combined exchange into a single property and will buy it back once you've found a replacement propertie(s) as the final destination for your capital.
