I chose the distant turnkey in a hot market and it wasn't a winning strategy.I learned my lesson and have since done well.For investors starting out, my view is that it's better to invest in a market you know extremely well.

I live in Fort Worth, TX, and I'm extremely excited about everything that I've seen thus far from this site.

I'm extremely excited to be here.

As you know it's extremely restricted wrt growth, has tons of tech money pouring in, and is in constant demand.

I'd add that flipping even 30 minutes away from where I live would put me in an extremely uncomfortable situation.
