I looked out of state but eventually came to the conclusion after studying 4 markets in depth that staying local where I’m in control and have excellent systems in place just made more sense.

@Annwar ZahriehIf you are looking at investing locally (even if it's 1.5 hrs away) try and carve out some time to go to meet-ups and meet other local investors in the Philly area and network with them and vendors. 

Here is how it appears on the app:Mortgage Information        ^Equity percent:48%Mortgage amount:        Mortgage term:$93,000                            0 yearLender name:First Horizon Hm LnAssessed value:$178,800You can get this information from your local courthouse. 

For illustration purposes if a tenant or passerby trips and becomes  hurt because of a premises liability event, if you discriminate against a tenant or buyer, fail to pay your contractor for work that was performed or any of the many fact patterns that could lead to claim exposure presents itself do you really believe your identity is going to stop a plaintiffs attorney from filing a claim, lien etc?

I love that it is local to me and can check in as needed.

The overall building condition is not terrible having been local offices of a well known national charity up until recently.   

I highly recommend attending a few monthly networking events/meetups!

If you don't have enough capital then getting a second job, seller financing, or looking in other less expensive local areas can help with that deal.

Hey Juan, I am a local out in Corona and we have meet ups usually throughout the year in Eastvale and Ontario all the time.

One of the attendees, who is also a client, is consistently sharp (Well, actually, most of the attendees were; the average bear does not take time & money to attend such an event.) and asks good questions.
