I have good friends who call them and market to them, but preforeclosures are really tiring.

There will be a lot of proven people here who demonstrate that you can totally self manage an out of state property.It really will depend on you, the market, the property, and a few other factors some of which may be out of your control.I would not look at PM strictly as a cost, there are a lot of good local PM's who can add value to your property. 

It's possible but it's determined by your local market, the size of the roof, and materials used.

I’d look in some market specific fb groups

Hello everyone,I often hear the terms cash flow market and an appreciation market?

Hi all, new to the forum and just wanted to gain some insight on the fl market pertaining to some things I have heard on the topic.

The reality is people are making money in virtually every market.

Hi @Yulia Volokhina,All of these markets are very close to each other geographically, so you're not going to see massive differences between any of these.

We are considering, if successful, purchasing an additional property/rental for grad students (hopefully less wear and tear) and what seems like a consistent rental market.
