The rest of my properties are in the Midwest but I do have partners in cities (outside of Cincy) where I have my properties.Having said that, I understand Boston is quite expensive.Option #1: is to invest in areas, say 1 hour away from Boston and hopefully not as expensive as Boston. 1 hour is close enough that you can still monitor your investment but not too far that you waste so much time on travel.And yes, with the technology nowadays you can monitor your properties from a distance.

What you should be careful is the consistency of your bookkeeping whether you book in accrual basis or cash basis otherwise your accountant will be confused when he or she reviews your book at the end of year at filing your tax return.If you are familiar with accrual basis accounting, maybe it is a good idea to book it accordingly because accrual basis is better to monitor the performance which is profit and loss of your business monthly.
