Out of state Investing is always a much more involved venture, but it's certainly not out of possibility as long as you are fully educated in that market, have analyzed several properties, have visited or if unable to personally visit have a real estate professional that can tour and offer you an unbiased opinion, have your financial resources in check and have a good team of people in place there, especially when you can't be.

I am looking to get into 6-12 units and I find Leominster ( or Worcester ) generally financially attractive.I don’t, however, have any experience in that market in terms of rental outlooks, neighborhoods, Vacancies, help, management companies, snow removals etc..I have looked at many More affordable areas including Lynn, Lowell, City of Worcester - but I find myself somehow pulled towards Leominster.

So transferring that property into an individual's name is entirely possible.

I'm on that journey that I'm sure many others here are on to one day find financial freedom.
