@Fred Heller Your points are well taken and I think I'm seeing that no arrangement perfectly aligns interests: it's a classic principle/agent dilemma.

I do not have experience in real estate investing, but I do have a general understanding of real estate principles. 

I always thought taxes are only paid on the down payment and the principle and interest as it comes in every year.Thanks BP Community!

As the saying goes, "Out of sight.

Now there are some rural locations or bad locations mid block in a good area with poor sight lines or access that will be difficult to rent.That has nothing to do with e-commerce.

Corporations always put the bottom line above everything else, and no corporation is going to spend millions of dollars to move out of the state over a principle.

Where have you got your sights set on?

Not be hungry for every deal in sight. 

In ya’lls experiance assuming you have a good property management and all that jazz... what are issues that most out of state investors run into that they wouldn’t have necessarily guess they would run into or do you think the whole deal is always harder simply due to the distance and corresponding out of sight out of mind issues that come along with that intangibility?

This is the only principle that I disagree with Dave Ramsey on by the way.
