What do I need to know about buying houses long distance to wholesale them?

I'm in a community located about 25 miles away from SF and people commute there to work.

If you have Internet, cable TV, telephone or a fax available in your condo, you can setup a desk and hookups for these services in a spare bedroom which would allow a daytime worker a peaceful and private work area which would not require them to travel long distances between other locations he or she may need to go to throughout the day.

The tools we have today are making investing long distance very achievable.

JS happens to work for EWI; he specializes on investing in foreclosures at a distance (sometimes 100s or 1000s of miles from where he is); and he's also into commercial RE and developing.

Yup it has a balcony with a natural gas hook up for the BBQ :) and a nice view of the city from a distance , its on the outskirts of town so you can just see the skyscrapers from a distance across a field.

Sadly, after I hit the send button on the last piece of paperwork for the deal, I saw the active ad, and HIS phone is on the ad, and it's a long distance number.

Lots of smaller cities that may be to your liking, too.You could start trying to buy some properties before you move, but you'll have to manage them long distance and pay for a property manager.

I'm a bike commuter and will shortly have a scooter for some around town errands.

Nice, good streets are in a stone throwing distance from "not-so-good" streets, etc.
