To invest Out of State at that price point, the deal has to really make sense because after paying everyone to be your boots on the ground you will need to get something for yourself too. 

Our living space is on the ground floor, which means it is really small (since the garage is also on ground floor). 

Find a property manager that can help you manage or if you want to manage on your own --yes you can-- but you will need to learn how to do this and build some help on the ground for handyman, yard care, etc.

Like I said, I am just getting started and am still in the information collection stage of getting this thing off the ground so I am not ready just yet to unleash the awesome marketing capabilities you seem to possess but I do now (and have for a while) have your name down in my notes as a future reference for traversing the acquisitions portion of the business. 

@Pankaj SharmaManny Khoshbin's Contrarian PlayBook: How to Build Your $100 Million Real Estate Portfolio From the Ground UpIs a great book :)

The tenant was very grateful and I feel I could get her back on track with rent at least until the spring summer comes. 

Current one of my unit half of the house doesn't have ground wire,can I use gfci outlet instead of regular outlet, it's currently a empty house and will have a section 8 inspection soon, can I use gfci instead of spending 10000s to get it grounded?

Oh and also check if you install a NEW septic.. is that ABOVE or BELOW ground? 

You could have a water main leak in the ground going to the building or a bad meter reader at the street where it connects to a cities main.

Hi John, I would recommend looking into the Tulsa market if you feel comfortable being a little further from your stomping grounds.
