Out-of-state could mean an hour or 5 hour drive depending on where you live.

You can find affordable areas around here though if you’re willing to go out a couple hours drive from here

basic information....You can message me or put the information here.

Beam, Post tension, driving piling, bell bottom, floating, pier and beam...Make sure you have a foundation company that is proficient at the type of project you have.I am no rookie, and I have had major issues with 3 (BBB accredited) business's this year who claimed to be experts in foundation work. 

Only you know what you're willing to deal with though, I always would drive an area I invest in at least for local investing ... 

Did a basic lease I found online(I know not the smartest way to go, but I was in a panic trying not to loose my daddy’s house) I’ve just read the Turners book, The Book on Managing Rental Properties.

Hows it going BP,While driving through an area of town where I would like to invest (Diving for $$) I came across a ton of properties in really REALLY nice neighborhoods that seemed to be abandon.

You could knock on doors,  "drive for dollars" method to look for empiy houses or FSBO signs,  look at Craigslists ads, do mailings, check or use local papers, go to real estate websites, go to local real estate clubs, etc..  

Taxes are irrelevant too, as many of these owners operate their business as all cash.Send me a message if you would like some help getting a handle on your numbers, I'll help you with ways to get the basic foundation of your business in order.Regards,Nicki.

So I basically I'm asking if I'm on the right track.
