Do you know the markets you threw out really well? 

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.

The 5-10 it gets heavier and a lot busier, and 10-15-20 it really is untenable to self-manage especially if this is not you main business like a person buying their own rentals and building it like a small business. 

Providing a starter supply of items like laundry detergent, dryer sheets, and toiletries is common practice and works well for short stays.

Saul, Phoenix and Vegas are popular markets, but I’m not sure they’ll actually cash flow well with today’s prices and interest rates.

When faced with scenarios like this, it's tough to answer such a specific question with limited information. 

Then add any other codes required where you want to build and study those as well.

After all rape is just the word of the victim that it was not consensual sex, breaking and entering, well the door was already broken, every theft, every credit card fraud, well the owner said I could. 

Hope you're able to connect with Jeff as well!

It can work really well or really bad.
