Facts as stated sound heavily in your favor.

As a beginner, you can learn a lot from your uncle with a few rentals in another state or a co-worker who's on their second house hack.

This gives me more time to figure out how I could make this work from out of state.

Did you have the seller sign disclosures that are clearly stating that the loan will stay in their name and could affect their DTI?

@Ryan Larsen what @Nicholas L. states is pretty true.Being a PM is NOT a high-paying, often not even a well-paying job.If you're set on that strategy, start calling up local large apartment complexes and asking if they are hiring.

The rule states that your rent should be at least 1% of your property’s sale price.The 1% rule or guideline is a helpful tool, but should not be your main metric of success when analyzing an investment property.

@Mike Harrington I've used Jeff Kolp with State Farm for 7ish years now and his team has been more than helpful and prompt.

So I invested out of state. 

I am looking to eventually be an out-of-state landlord investor Ohio.

Not all states allow for Series LLCs.
