Do I need to live where I invest?

[Corey Russo]

Hey, i haven't been on this website long but I've seen that investing in the midwest, such as parts of Michigan and Ohio is the best but I have no interest living there. I have no family there and it just doesn't appeal to me being close to a big city currently (NYC). I would like to build a big portfolio of properties to make a decent passive income from it, but would living like 8 hours away from my properties be reasonable? Have people done this before?

Check out David Greene's book on long-distance investing. Just to piggyback off of @Joe Villeneuve's point, it talks about building teams and systems. I would check it out if I were you! Good Luck
