One of the people I spoke to has been investing in rental properties in Arizona and managing them on his own, from a distance.

I found that lowes does price match which is nice if cheap stuff is a distance away.

It's just the long distance landlording approach that I don't agree with and can only imagine must be harder for a first time investor.

The distance is challenge but not as much of a challenge as the New York market presents at this time.

I will not buy investment properties in this town, but other areas more convenient for commuters and with better tax rates.

I have a contract on a house in a master-planned development within walking distance to two schools and parks.

I like the fact that it's move-in ready and in a good commuter location so I can get renters quickly.

Fine with the PM, since they're charging you for every turnover.Before investing with a turnkey outfit, or doing any long distance investing, YOU MUST DO YOUR OWN DUE DILIGENCE.

Of course I don't have the job yet, but the real estate market nearby is of course a factor in which job I take, as commuting several hours a day to and from the right house or buying an affordable but less exciting house in a less than favorite area because it is close to work is a decision anyone with a 9-5 must face.

There willing to pay more for a garage, yard, more distance from others that might be noisy, etc.
