From another traveling healthcare professional, one of the great things to know is that, with education and good, trustful connections, you can invest anywhere in the country!

My sister is buying a new place.

My sister and boyfriend also have SD IRAs with them.  

Her sister told her to put his name on the deed and she did. 

So dog whistle for the type of traveler that will make your efforts pay off.Best to you

I base this opinion only on what I've heard in all the BP podcasts and various RE books; it also seems intuitive to me as I prefer to see my investment properties in person (at least from time to time and without heavy travel).

This couple is fairly wealthy and are just looking to move out of landlord in and start traveling more.

My sister's partner is a contractor out of Boonsboro/Frederick.  

I subsequently became a reservist with a unit based out of Gainesville with a contractual commitment through 2018 and provided a documented history of my travels to Gainesville to conduct training on R&R's since I've been a contractor overseas.

Her sister had deeded her the property for safekeeping from her own children. 10 years later, after giving her nieces and nephews every chance to buy her out for only the taxes, she was done.
