I understand that completing long distances BRRRRs is a different kind of animal, so I am hoping to glean insight from investors who have successfully gone down this path.

Quote from @Ven Bud: After hearing to lot of bp episodes on negative cash flow, I have a question.I am currently living in my primary residence and planning to purchase an investment property, and obviously it is going to be a negative cashflow (bay area), but I am of the opinion that as long as the rent on the investment property is atleast going to be greater than my current primary residence mortgage it can still considered as positive cash flow investment.The investment property is going to be in a much better location (for office commute, bay area proximity) than my primary residence.

I do a good bit of long distance real estate investing and I am considering going into as new area. 

Are there alternative strategies you’d recommend for this market or nearby markets which are of commuting distance to Danbury?

I can put up with a 1-hour work commute or a little more if it means having a house in a decently safe area.Other Info:Credit Score: 700s (due to student loan payments)Monthly Income: $4600Work Location: I commute to Northern Virginia and D.CGuys, I could really use your help or recommendations on what you would do if you were in my situation:Location: I'm thinking somewhere in PG County MD due to my commute, like Hyattsville MD.

He bought a home for himself in Lodi California but work in the Bay Area long story short he can’t deal with the commute anymore and decide to stay with a buddy close to work.

Between working around the renovation materials to the 35 minute commute to the first two units I’m having serious second thoughts about this.

I qualify as a 2024 real estate professional if I can count my commute time to and from properties.

Yes many easy commuting options to NYC such as the lightrail, path train, ferry and bust.

I recommend reading “Long-Distance Real Estate Investing: How to Buy, Rehab, and Manage Out-of-State Rental Properties” - I found it to be very helpful when I got started investing 2.5 years ago.
