Personally, I don't have any issue investing or managing over there.

House hacking will also give you some personal "property management" experience.

Making 200 calls per person a day or more with a multi phone line dialer.   

Small multifamily buy and hold is personally my favorite strategy.

You'll get an idea of the rate, the down payment required, do they want an experienced manager to make the loan fundable at close- where would you get this person is it you?

Know the family of a dead person?

I personally like Mechanicsville and Pittsburgh area. 

I personally had one go from $771/mo to $1250/mo.
