We have been travel nurses the past few years and are looking to start investing in some properties.  

Do you worry about where the next dollar will come from, do you travel anywhere and everywhere, are you more free to do as you wish etc

It's just too much travel time and I would be concerned if they cover that large of an area they are just starting out or can't keep clients.

Thank you for your response.I guess you can say I lived in Tulsa the longest out of my 5 years in the US.I traveled a lot as a kid.So I have been keeping track of the market and it is competitive but nothing that I can overcome.

I have done small Reno when tenants are traveling, tile, a new floor but it can be tough.

That would be something you'd probably have to travel to work out.  

I'm guessing I either need to travel to see the property or have someone locally?

I travel between Allentown, PA and Williamstown, NJ and welcome any advice and guidance.

I think going in multiple markets makes sense, but I would be very strategic with it and see if you can invest in markets where if you traveled to them, you could fly into 1 market and drive to the other markets.  

Let me know if interested and I wish you luck in your travels to Chicago!
