A relative who does long-distance real estate investing told me that I have to sign the final loan document and the transfer of ownership document in person.

@Christopher Reynolds My mantra has always been, "Live where you want to live; invest where it makes sense."

I know nothing about which state is best to invest in, and obviously I would be using a property manager.

@Rosette PooleRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
