When the cat leaves, the mice will play"As an out of state investor, the mice are always playing.It takes years and years to develop trustworthy relationships with feet on the ground.Even then, you will loose money just like we do to this day in Toledo to shady contractors, etc...And we have a whole team of people on the ground including myself and my co-founder.Granted, if you do it right you can find amazingly cheap deals, renovate and have immediate equity plus jaw dropping cashflow.I would advise moving to the market you are considering and getting your hands dirty for a few years.Easier said than done but if I moved from Sydney, Australia to Toledo, Ohio.Anyone can do the same lolWishing you much success
