Managing that out-of-state would not be fun.

-replaced all 3 toliet's hardware including lines and had a broken line at 8pm spewing water out, fun fun!

My expenses aren't that crazy, but I figure since I find REI fun I might as well aim high.I know I'm still very green, so pardon the question, but how much of an exaggeration is "100 SFH is a full time job even with a trusted team"?

Have fun with the search!

So I'm sure you'll have fun with it! 

Here's a fun thought exercise.

Purchase price: $75,000 Cash invested: $28,000 This was a fun purchase, we added a bathroom (first time doing an addition), as well as a major cosmetic overhaul of the house and some plumbing/electrical.

Guess which house has all the neighbors pissed.I can't speak to the other markets but Galveston has been a fun market.

I would recommend a closer location like in Muskegon, SpringLake, Grand Haven (just for fun, because I worked and lived there for a while); or closer to you. 

I have a degree in economics and the only thing I remember about college is how much fun I had.
