Long term exit:  Buy and hold for 10+ years. 

Then once you no longer need cashflow, start playing these longer appreciation games until the end of time.

If you're considering new construction buy-and-hold properties in strong markets and prefer a more hands-off approach, it's worth exploring.

So I trade risk related to out-of-state investment, with risk to hold huge leverage in over-bloated market in tenet friendly state, but I am losing opportunity to build a skill-set of out-of-state investing which will help me to scale faster and be flexible in the future.If we buy cheaper house but further from the city, we will spend a lot more time in the commute(3 days in the office mandate), in this case we will trade time(commute) for money(affordability) it makes it not an investment, but another work.
