Back in Nov 2015 I bought my first property for cash and fixed it up with my father. 

A year ago in Nov 2014, it was 4.9%, a full percentage point higher.

I am an investor moving to Bloomington in Nov from WV.

I enjoy all things technology related.

you might have to lower the rent to get it rented during this time of year.We purposely have extended or shortened leases by a month or two to get them to terminate during more advantageous time, for instance a 15 month lease that begins in Nov and ends in Feb.

These seem like they might make more sense for investors that don't want to work full time as a real estate salesperson.There is one called Real that looks interesting..it's a virtual brokerage with no offices...they are very technology focused it seems ..all docs handled via App.

In 2 years, with your cash on hand & still-advancing technology, it almost won't better where you buy & manage property.I suggest doing two things:Identify the markets where you want to buy.Reach out to property managers, real estate agents/brokers, and other investors in that area.

Use technology to stay up-to-date on a daily basis and you need to keep the ability to jump on a plane and get there if need be.  

@Chris Clothier of MemphisInvest / DallasInvest, @Jeff Ader of InvestIndy, and @William Robison of Kansas City Investment RE, among many others, will be out in SF in Nov, to share their experiences about doing due diligence, looking for markets, finding properties, managing tenants, etc out of state.
