San Diego is generally more desirable than Buffalo, so people will devote more of their income to housing, But I bet if you did this formula for every city the rankings would align very closely with the price to rent ratio. https://smartasset.com/mortgage/price-to-rent-rati...If you look at the list, San Antonio and Memphis are near the bottom.

Much like many others in this community I'm sure, I read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki and it changed my thinking dramatically.Through a number of web searches and blog posts I ended up at BiggerPockets and I was immediately hooked.

Inversely, if I love City Y, you bet I want to invest there, and spend time checking in on my property and enjoying and learning about the city I have money in.  

With many software companies specializing in web based with log ins for owners there is no reason you should have access to your own cash flow reports when you want-units:staff ratio.  

I've been reading mixed comments around the web about this one.2.

I would be willing to bet the majority of those who are very successful on BP all live in modest homes with a lot of equity, and drive modest cars most probably paid cash, that they can easily afford. 

I still think that staying local is a better bet for all the reasons previously mentioned, but if you ultimately disagree and invest out of state it is a better model IMO.

It's a safe bet with little risk (minimal rehab).

Thank you both for taking the time on replying to my post, I will definitively get the book that you suggested and get deeper into the rehab stuff, I bet is not that easy but after doing it the first time Im sure I will learn a lot!

Do you have web based programs for uploading and signing documents?
