Property could rent easily for $1100 to $1200, or maybe a little more, so there is a nice spread.

Nice cashflow. 

Let's also say for instance her delinquent thug of a grandson comes over and visits frequently, with a group of his "friends" and eventually threatens the life of one of your other tenants, leading to many phone calls, police visits and filing reports, etc.

I had previously thought of purchasing in another state like North Carolina or Ohio, but this a better idea due to being close enough where I can visit frequently, and it's a place I can live in myself one day.My question is, what are some things to consider before I look to buy a home in another city?

It is a C class building - good and nice location for what it is, but primarily caters to lower income residents.

@Tamara Troutt lean into your discomfort and call more often, don't take it personally when you come across these people you may just want to politely  say "have a nice day" and hang up then on to the next one.

Nice job dood!

You got a nice goal Amy and all the best in your deals. 

The property will cash flow nicely at the 156k price.

My visits in San Francisco and Washington DC last year have definitley opened my eyes to what expensive real estate can look like, even smaller homes that are far from luxurious.
