Hey Mario, yes out-of-state investing can work well especially if you're in a high cost of living area.I invest in Detroit and live in California.

I live out of the country though so it makes things difficult.

Purchased with plan to live in permanently, put it as a STVR while traveling in our RV during the pandemic, and it did so well as a STVR that we decided to keep it as a rental and buy another cabin in Yosemite as our primary residence.

Many offer live demos, but it's going to take me forever to research these from scratch. 

One side is rented long term while I live in the other.

I also own and operate a business that provides water submetering for multi-family properties of all sizes.

I live in California but am looking more towards the East Coast for my investment. 

Many of the older homes that haven't been renovated will not have insulation or HVAC, and will certainly be needed to be comfortable during our really hot summers.We ended up doing a BRRRR (Which we ended up selling due to the hot market a few years ago), and it was almost a complete gut, so I'd be happy to discuss numbers with you.

First, contact the water company about the leak.

Tier 1 hospitals near where I live (Raleigh) are Duke / UNC hospitals (Durham/C.H.), Wake Med (Raleigh) and ECU/Vidant (Greenville).
