I took w-2 salary money from my hometown DC/Va some years back, and started investing out of state in upcoming areas Raleigh NC and Jacksonville Fl suburbs for better return..stability, 1% rule, places id want to live also..buying light reno's off mls to get a bit of a deal, aiming for 1% deal, and turning over (out sourcing) to a property manager to prep and rent out is pretty do able entry... target 3/2's 1000+ sqr safe zone .. and you have some exit outturn key scares me as buyer, i cant pay 20% above 2019 arv's just for extra convenience.. its too retail.. 

Bottom line, it is almost certainly doable, and almost never easy.

Is this real or doable?

Definitely doable as I am willing to work early morning and evening and weekends to get it going. 

It's doable.

I have been in discussions with the selling party and have got him down to a very doable selling price.  

Doing a house hack on a value-add duplex or triplex is totally doable.

Definitely doable! 

While I grew up in the land of milk and honey(Tampa, FL) where property is cheap and there is cash flow, I now live in LA, the land of Almond milk and Organic raw Manuka honey, where everything is a fortune.I got licensed in Florida because I found a need for people out here with some money to invest out of state since they have read Rich Dad, Poor Dad and subscribe to BP instead of competing with established LA agents.My question is this...Since most people would be too intimidated to invest out of state, how can I show these clients that it is not only doable, but profitable and worth it?

For those with a full time job, managing one or two rentals should still be do-able.
