I am not in a position to drive to out of state locations repeatedly to look at property, and if I had to hire a property manager it would drastically increase my costs on a 15 year loan.  

FSBO  on craigs list etc.5. driving for dollars6. 

Many investors invest within 2-3 hour drive of NYC(update NY, CT, NJ, PA).

And someone to share the drive to get this done, renovate the right way and work toward that buy and hold strategy together.We can build capital together through flipping, and if one of our properties seems like a good hold for either of us, then we can discuss and see who wants it, has the capital to refi it out and take it on as a rental and run with it.

Condition matters some but it isnt the only thing that drives price.

When I visit my units it's with my property manager (unless I'm just driving by) so I don't have to "explain myself" to anyone. 

My husband and I went "driving for dollars," and we identified several homes within a 2 block radius that we could start reaching out to their owners about selling. 

If you get sick of the drive you can always sell it in a year or two and have more money to buy a place in Newberg (plus maybe a rental there too)
