@Tim DelaneyI have recently been traveling central and NE Florida looking for stores that sell at MSRP.  

There are travel nurses & people who come from overseas for training who book for the full price sometimes for 3-6 months. 

There are no monthly charges for well and septic, other than minimal electrical usage.

I think you go where the opportunity is and where you have some leverage and if you feel that Tennessee offers you that, I would look there, just be prepared to use that as a learning experience, so you may need to travel more, which it sounds like you're willing to do.

The submeter is accurate and tracks usage of anything powered on in the unit. 

and the reason I say CA is that ( and I think we had this discussion on another thread) is that when I was re upping my CA BRE license there was a pop up that said if us agents suspect anyone of selling RE without a license to file complaints and their was a link..

Think about how can you make your property a no brainer when having to decide between an apartment and a home. 2-Contact homeowners who are not in your close proximity, so they do not feel threatened, and ask them what are they seeing in the market, and how are they are adjusting (most likely you are not the only one who is experiencing this). 3-  If you decide to work with a real estate agent, use one that works with rentals, and better yet, someone who specializes in property management as well, because they will help you weed out  bad applicants. 4- This last one I do not have experience with, but I would definitely try it if my rental was near a hospital: Partner with a company that finds housing for traveling nurses.

.- Increased Travel and Communication:Regular visits and long-distance coordination can increase both time and expense.- Legal and Tax Complications:Navigating different state laws and tax regulations can be complex and confusing.Out-of-state investing can be a great way to grow your real estate portfolio, but weighing the benefits against the potential challenges is essential.

I am really into real estate and I want to start as soon as possible, however I am studying abroad, and I'm constantly travelling.

This isn't helped by the fact that I'm temporarily trapped outside of the country due to COVID travel restrictions and are not on an easy time zone with SFO.
