Also has anyone done this and can you tell me what the steps roughly are for the legal/physical aspects, and how it went for you (was it worth it)Thanks!

Looking to purchase a home in another state with out having to go to state physically .

Scott thank you for the input , yes my plan is to quit working my full time job at the beginning  of next year , also i going to piece out the physical work so i can concentrate on the mental work, i want to scale my business splitting my time in too places is not cutting it!

Of course, the closer it physically is the better.

You also want to incorporate tax and insurance if you haven't included those in your models.  

But I am older and physically going to the library was normal for me back in the day.

We are building our investor list, and currently focused on rentals (BRRRR), but could definitely incorporate flips if it helps building a larger base of investors. 

@Scott Palmer My background is similar to yours, retired now, but worked in corporate finance, systems, programming, and when I semi retired, bookkeeping. 

Thank you AmandaHow much would you guess rehab cost be, from a home that's not in bad shape physically but can use a update to be able to increase rent?

Once the lease(s) expire, you can sign new leases incorporating whatever provisions you want and tenant(s) are willing to accept.
