Hi @Evelyn Brito majority of the time ill advise against FHA because most listing agent will advise their clients to take a conventional deal over FHA. 

My opinion if it were me is if I had a network of people/vendors(family members or friends to keep an eye on it, contractors/handyman if any repairs were needed, a re agent for showings if needed and so on) and a online software for collecting rent etc then I’d be comfortable managing from a far.

Can you be very specific with your PM on communication with repairs?

I’m active duty military with less than a year to go…Make sure to check out David Greene’s books for real estate agents in the BP bookstore.I wish you all the best!

As an investor and agent here in Columbus Ohio, if you have any questions or want to connect, definitely reach out! 

And whether you considered to become a broker yourself (instead of an agent)?

Ask the agent for contractors, handyman, lawyer, insurance guy, the friend who works at the planning desk, an architect if you plan to change things.

I would speak with local agents and PM companies down there to verify returns but I ythink you'd be good if it hit 10%+ return in Year 1. 

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

If they do communicate and offer any substantial amount you are probably better off taking it and moving on even if its just a couple hundred bucks.
