@Thomas S.  

@John Meyers You might want to connect with @Adrien S. who runs a successful group near me in Northwest Indiana.

Well after reading @David Greene ‘s book Long Distance Real Estate InvestIng I feel confident I could do it anywhere...but I’m working with an agent friend of mine in NJ to get the first one under my belt.

Window units are like the 1960's. 

It will bite you.As @Thomas S. said, you've trained these tenants to behave this way and there's no reason for them to change.

Now, these three houses are surrounded by homes that start out in the low 500's.

I’m an hour and half away it is upper 80’s but not 100 like out west .

I've seen 2's and 3's go under deposit in a matter of days.

There is an hours requirement but also it states that you MUST spend more time on REI than any other activities(s) A read a tax case not too long ago where a surgeon tried to qualify because he self managed his whole portfolio, yadda yadda...Ultimately the IRS said you're in the Operating room for 10 hours a day 6 days a week.

@Rafael Salinas II I'd recommend connecting with @Adrien S. as he works very closely with investors in NWI, and I'd also recommend checking out the NICIA.org group.
