I've begun to contemplate investing out of state in order to find a better market.

MFR contemplation has also been haunting me.

I have contemplated investing out-of-state however, most people I've spoken to don't recommend purchasing a single family income property outside of where I'm living or i.e. too far away that I wouldn't be able to drive to it in a short period of time. 

My good friend and I have been contemplating on investment ideas for a while and are both getting into this at the same time. 

I'm even contemplating a live/work space as an option as well.

I am looking into investing in Canada and am contemplating on a turnkey investment as well.  

specially the tip at the end if they pay attention to detail, I have contemplating getting a VA.

Should I pursue my goal if I have a misdemeanor assault from college bar fight?

J Scott, I would contemplate either just referring them to the vacancy owner, expecting to benefit when we buy, or, possibly managing just the placement on the owner's behalf, again, expecting to benefit at close.I should add that the seller is literally a little old lady who just wants out and I'm pretty sure would let me do anything ethical that I wanted to.

If you need to make an investment model change, take some time to gather info, contemplate the options, and make a business decision.
