It's long distance to the extreme, and you don't want a delayed schedule or a cost overrun to be distracting you downrange.

It's a shorter commute and I could even not renew my car lease in December to eliminate expenses.

The core 4 is David Greene’s strategy for long-distance and made up of a realtor, contractor, property manager, and lender.

It was split into two parcels, walking distance between them.

I know of a friend that lives in Killeen in a big nice house and commutes daily to Austin to work for the city as a maintenance man.

I have a small amount saved up (15k) and I will be getting a sum from my dad to help contribute (somewhere between 10-40k) and I have a friend that wants to partner with me, he has money but no credit/job history for a loan (50k)I want to buy my first home locally so I can still commute to my job in Brentwood (probably South LA/Inglewood) and I'm planning on house hacking.

@Michael Henry What has been your approach (where to begin the research) to finding a property manager in a long distance investment?

Walking distance to NYC Metro North commuter train station and downtown area with restaurants and shops.

I’m just starting to get info to determine if it can work for a buy and rent, and manage from a distance approach.

If so, have you had any challenges learning about the area and buying long distance before being boots on ground?
