I spent about 10 hours a year on each unit, and when I travel I use a 24 hour handyman service.  

Normally you would need 10% down but if you are running a medical practice  it is now possible to buy with no money down. 

I have to travel about 5 hours round trip to get to either, but I usually spend from $1K to $5K per trip. 

She had some medical issues.

Things we can bring to the table:1- Realtor - access to the MLS for finding and negotiating the best deals 2- Contractor - licensed and insured and in business for 10 years to bring renovation costs down to make more money 3- Money - We have about 20k in Home Depot and Lowe's cards to repair the house4- Work - Willing to do the leg work to find great deals and do complete renovations Problems:1- Credit - My credit is in ok shape, 650 to 700 due to medical bills. 2- Money - I have enough money to do renovationsGoal - Need a smart investor to purchase property with, be a mentor to show us the way.

Low credit score do to medical issues have kept me from going to traditional loan.

Managing an out of state property is a definite option for me, however it is very difficult to travel to different parts of the country just to look at possible investments.  

But that means traveling if you're out of state, which will almost certainly cost close to or as much as any judgement.

But we do travel further for some of our clients.  

I'm full time employed but when I'm not traveling, I'm driving for dollars.
