@Stewart McGillivray definitely check out davod green's book out how to buy rehab and manage out of state rental properties.

Read lots of real estate books (my go-to recommendations for new investors are Retire Early with Real Estate by Chad Carson, both of David Greene's books, and The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller)3.

*Listening to real estate podcasts (obviously bigger pockets)*Reading books (open to suggestions, currently in the middle of David Greene’s brrrr book)*Learning the community via the web (Zillow, realtor, etc.)

David Greene's book Long Distance Real Estate Investing does a great job of describing the process.  

I love student housing around The University of Toledo and is solely what I own, but it is very different here than say Bowling Green State University 20 minutes away, or a huge school like Ohio State.

There are properties in Green Valley/Sahuarita that are $250-$300k that are renting for $1.5-1.9k.

@Adrienne Green that's a great point you brought up - one of my tenant's lease expired Jan 31 2021 - its currently being made rent ready. so yes I would drop a note when I have my new tenant with all the costing + lease up fee (another thing i forgot + half a month rent turnkeys usually charge, sometime they take up entire month) - but I would say a month.

You're going to want to get a patent anyway if a patent attorney gives you green lights down the board.  

If you're doing STRs at a distance, definitely read David Greene's book on Long Distance Investing.

I have not used my license yet, so I am green and would need to be walked through the process.
