If you are looking for someone to help with this Gerald Barksdale with Design Build CA really knows his stuff.

Therefore I’ve decided to take the David Greene approach and invest out of state but again I’m not sure if that’s the right move while starting out. 

I listened to Episode259 with Mike Anderson, I really enjoyed his “no-nonsense” approach to real estate, but I have been wanting more from the podcast and with this guy’s knowledge in particular.

Otherwise, I’d be doing what you’re doing (trying to do it on my own) and then having many doubts and questions as the tax deadline approaches.  

I've been going through all of the episodes to figure out the best way to approach investing. 

Let's connect and I'll send you info on duplexes on the market currently and new ones that come on the market as we approach your move to the city!

I am sure there will be lots of people willing to give you some ideas on how to approach it.

Cannot endorse that approach.
