@Jonathan Greene: Thanks for your opinion, that's how I have felt and its currently holding back on making any serious moves.

I understand it is super nerve racking but I would suggest reading David Greene's book - 'Long Distance Real Estate Investing'. 

Have you read David Greene's book Long Distance Real Estate Investing? 

Thanks @Adrienne Green!

I am used to 12-24 month leases.I would also prefer to hire a property manager to manage and my numbers include a typical fee I am used to paying.I am somewhat green to this type of investment property so any advice?

@Jonathan Greene smh

I am a new, green investor with big ideas willing to sacrifice.

All that said, if your serious about long distance investing, I would highly recommend @David Greene's book, Long-Distance Real Estate Investing. 

You could purchase a house in Green Valley, Henderson (neighboring city of Las Vegas) for $130k and rent it for $1,300.So fascinating to watch real estate cycles over time.

Ideally you would already have a team in place (as per the advice of David Green for investing out of state) since you dont have that in place I would suggest you maybe reach out to a BP member from that area who might be willing and able to offer advice and use of their local team.
