"one hour away"...that is a lot of distance to cover, especially when you can't commit more than evenings and weekends.

I agree with taking it slow, considering all angles and not committing to anything until all avenues have been evaluated/ analyzed.  

There's a lot of steps in the process.If D4D is too much work for you, you may want to re-evaluate whether you're firmly committed to becoming a real estate investor and have adequate resources in order to do so.Best of luck.

Hello Everyone at Bigger Pockets,My name is Andrew Gaynor, and I am new to the real estate investing world, for a while I have been interested in real estate investing but never made any attempts to actually make a meaningful change, I'm excited to say I made the commitment to myself to get started, I have recently made it my mission to own a property by next year!

If you guys are 100% committed to becoming investors then it may be the right thing for you to do in order to get started.

We only have 9 properties (4 that I manage for families) but I self-manage and handle everything while being across the country with a full time plus job and other commitments. 

We should preface it to say the home is near two small colleges, Google campus and near the shopping center (includes T-Joe).
