In couple of two weeks visits, I rehabbed it with the craigslist “proffies” for like 15K, which was not bad at the time.In retrospective, there were two things, which significantly reduced cash flow:the location- as excited first time “investor” I did not pay attention to numerous sump pumps (the house actually sinks in the swamp- not unusual in New England)the property manager- I had one great guy for the first four years (also found in craig).

I had previously thought of purchasing in another state like North Carolina or Ohio, but this a better idea due to being close enough where I can visit frequently, and it's a place I can live in myself one day.My question is, what are some things to consider before I look to buy a home in another city?
