We prefer to make the investment relatively close i.e. 2-3 hours flight max.We want to start small as this would be our first but start at a location where we can then buy more and bigger investments (like an apartment complex) once we have a local team and understand the micro-markets and details. have been considering buying something from roofstock.com to begin with.

I’ve read Brandon Turner’s Rental Properties book and Low (no) Money Down investing book, along with some other non-BP related books.

The best (IMHO)you can do is seek out a tax and wealth advisor that you can work with so they can better understand your long term preferences as it relates to your estate and then give you advice on sustainable income into retirement (passive and/or retirement accounts), charitable preferences and heirs, if applicable.

If anybody can relate to this plan please let me know!
