Self-Manage Four-Plex 3 hours away - dumb idea?

I'm under contract for a four-plex that is 3 hours away from me. Tenants are long term Section 8. I have a very flexible work schedule and can be on site for inspections and check ins in short notice. I have a Section 8 property in Chicago and the management is worthless - I'm tired of it. I'd like to try self-managing this priperty. Dumb idea or worth considering?  Thanks.
