While I never bought when serving, I can assure you, managing a single property from distance should not be a deal breaker.As long as you are careful about who you rent to, and as long as you work with a real estate agent who is willing to screen tenants or a property manager, the number of tasks that require you to be on sight for a remote rental are few and far between.In fact, everything can be done remotely, and you'll want to ensure that you have a network of contractors you can call if the property needs work at any point.

I'm no tax expert, but I figured as long as I can still assign the deal to an end buyer, it didn't bother me either way.

Investing out of town isn't a huge issue as long as you take the time to build and vet the team that will be your boots on the ground.

At this point, I know that in my market I want to start with wholesaling.I am going on realtor.com and other similar sites and texting/calling 10 agents a day just to say I’m an investor and I am looking for good cash deals.I firmly believe that as long as you have a good deal then you’ve got something to work with.

Most deals don't necessarily go exactly as planned, but just as long as you are on top of the problems when they come up then you will be ok.

One article said that the SBA lenders have discretion as long as they have one unconditional guarantor.

As long as you are confident that you can afford the mortgage, I would get a multi-family with an FHA loan and rent out the extra room. this way, you can at least pay a reduced mortgage and build equity over time.

Hi @Alex Castillo, Yes, any type of real estate will qualify as long as it is held for some type of rental, investment or business use.
