Thanks everyone! This is very helpful advice. I have been looking in the St. Louis area mostly. I know many people there which makes me feel more comfortable investing out of state.

I am a rookie just getting into real estate investing. I have not done any deals yet and would love some answers/advice. I am looking to invest out of state because where I live is too expensive for me to start. Looking to invest in turnkey rental properties or simple cosmetic rehabs for rentals. What things to I need to do or look for before closing to ensure I am not buying an awful property or getting myself in trouble. I assume pictures/videos of the property and an inspection, but is there anything else? Also, what about homes being sold as-is with no inspection? Can I ask for an inspection anyways or should I just avoid those altogether? 

Thank you all so much!
