I am willing to go out of state...though I liked the thought of being a day's drive from a visual inspection.

Something like this: 1133 Hill Mount Drive, Minneola (suburb of Orlando)? 

The HOA's are definitely going to play a big factor in my decision making.

Luxery rentals in exclusive resort areas, where short-term renters typically drive up in a Lamborghini and wearing enough diamonds to blind a person v. 3/2/2 brick on slab in a subdivision rented to a blue-collar Joe. 

That should be a discrete cost line item and factored into the ROI, as most of these costs will be capitalized I imagine.

Then factor in your social life if you wanted one.

Hello all, I am starting my real estate investing journey and have capital, some knowledge and a lot of drive.

Hi Johnny,Phill and Shenoah Grove run a couple groups here -- the RENC and REIA events. https://houstonrenc.com/It's down near the Galleria, so a bit of a drive from Spring.

So, i'm about to start my all out marketing campaign towards motivated sellers, even knocking on driving for dollars some, but i started thinking about the aftermath of the deal for the seller.
