First deal....Out of state?

[Jonathan Batson]

I am looking to invest in real estate with low money down.  I live in the greater Denver area and the real estate scene is fairly high priced making the 20% - 25% down payment out of my reach with my current savings.  Do to this I have been looking at real estate out of state.  Any advice on this, good, bad or neither?

I live in Philadelphia and had a rental in Cincinnati Ohio for a number of years that worked out great. The key is property management. A good manager makes your life easy.
