You just have to be comfortable with the fact that you'd be managing the property out of state, if that's alright with you and you should proceed and take the opportunity. 

Overall, it depends on your level of comfort because some areas of Newark can have great cash flow but a little more dangerous.

First, I'd pick a city you like & feel comfortable living in - you may think you're up for it, but if you're miserable you'll abandon the project after like 3 months.

I am very comfortable operating in this space and I am confident in my ability to be successful in the business.

Like eagles, they force their little babies to leave the comfortable nest, and sometimes getting kicked out makes you learn how to fly.

There was a two car garage in between the two units and they are in process of getting that permitted for an ADU, plus there is space for parking for each unit so that of course was a plus in LA...Then going from there, depending on $ and your comfort with risk there are many more options out there. 

I live in CA and I knew that I couldn’t “invest in my own backyard” comfortably, the risk was too high for me.

You should also start thinking about the condition of the property you'd be most comfortable with.

Any landlord worth anything would want to know about these issues so that his customer, you, are comfortable. 

My first property is in my parents hometown so i felt comfortable with the first-hand knowledge I had on the neighborhoods.
