Do I need to choose a location close to home or farther away?

Also to network and learn from like minded people.

If a dishwasher is 15 years old and the tenant destroys it, you can't really charge them much because the appliance is beyond the life expectancy.To learn how to determine charges for cleaning and repairs, you can read my book in my signature, Brandon Turner's Managing Rental Properties, or NOLO's Every Landlord's Legal Guide.

Hey Kenny no it's more out the money to work and if needed get personally involved right right now have 3 clients I helped raised 175k in 0% interest business funding with 12 months 0 apr and they want to get going in real estate and make modest returns not shooting for home runs 

Learn the area, meet other investors at meet-ups and one-on-one conversations, and once you feel more confident, you can make a purchase to live in. 

Online platforms like Zillow, PropStream, and Auction.com are worth exploring, and don’t forget to check out local real estate groups for deals and partnerships.Since you’re in Racine, the Rental Property Association of Wisconsin and Milwaukee REIA are great resources for networking, finding contractors, and learning about funding opportunities.
