Buy and hold in another state.

Hi BP, I'm about ready to embark on my RE investing journey but still very confused about a lot of things especially financing. I'm looking to buy and hold multifamily houses in the next state about 2 hrs away. Obviously I can't house hack with an FHA and commute 4 hrs (back and forth) to work everyday. What's my next best option? Houses where I live are too expensive.

I appreciate all advice

Thank you

When looking at a non owner occupied property your looking at 20-25% down.
