@Todd Rasmussen - Haha close, we live about 1 mile away from her hospital. 

I signed docs w/ a notary in-person at the Wells Fargo bank and then walked to UPS store 1 mile away, waited in a long line keeping 6 feet away from everyone, and finally walked back home up a giant hill.

Protect your personal housing by not taking excessive risk with your RE investment acquisitions.What if the home next door for sale was a mile away, everything else equal?

@Andres Vanegas there are a few exceptions like if you have to relocate at least 100 miles for work.

@Lucas Miles that makes sense.

First and foremost, if it doesn't pan out, you're still miles ahead of other investors so don't get down on yourself. 

I too reside in the SF Valley, just a few miles from Chatsworth! 

More things can go wrong when you're 1000 miles away and it is much more expensive to travel back to see your property and ensure your property manager is doing what he/she is supposed to be doing.

This meant no more bicycling 7 miles everyday to go to work in rain, snow, super hot weather.
