My recommendation of out of staters is true turnkey projects where the investor is truly hands-free and not involved in daily property management and intricacies involved in Class C- and D properties.Just my opinion.....Thanks again.

If a cracked sink or a missing tile upsets your day you shouldn't be buying rental property anyway.I should also add when I want to invest in a new area I read that city's daily paper on line, I call lots of agents and usually a couple of contractors before I even spend much time looking for houses. 

@Chaz Reid, Im not actually both feet in yet, but I can say too, escaping the daily grind of the corporate world and having the freedom of self employment will be amazing and hard work...Iooking forward to it!

I do it with people I meet daily and it's great that there's an online community to do this with.

Boo-hoo calls me daily.

My primary reason for asking this question is that I am an out of state investor (from Canada), and my policy is what I call 'Remote REI Strategy', hands-free, no contact with tenants, and I don't want to be called by 1:00am that a bulb is burnt out....strictly no involvement with daily property management and all that come with it.....

I think $400-500 installed would cover it.Windows with moisture between the panes could be about $150 each.Hope that helps a little.

Someone else who does it on a daily basis.

The challenge is where and how to find the motivation needed to get the ball rolling.What I have found to work for me:a) take it easy on myself, big changes in life roles, big changes in identity TAKE TIME, it is okay to be in transitionb) experiment with changing up the daily routine,c) schedule 10 to 20 minutes of quiet reflection at the beginning of the day and 5 to 10 minutes before bed to ask myself, "how's it working for me?

It took two months of putting in offers daily and getting out bid on REO's and Shortsales to get one under contract.
