Starting out Out of state investing

[Chandler Alexander]

Does anyone have any tips on starting out for out of state investing. I found a property that seemed would work but a lender that I was referred to said they wouldn't be able to finance the loan because I lived out of state and they do not like doing something like this. Should I invest in my area? Problem is in my area the barrier to entry is so high it would take me so much longer. Any suggestions ?

I'd recommend house hacking. 

- Allows owner occupied financing

- Subsidized living expenses

- A soft intro to landlording

- Equity build
