@James Smyth, if your going to go solar, choose the best product, SUNPOWER panels are the most efficient & have longest warranty.

@Trey Beltrand welcome to BP. I’m also located on the island. I have an investment out of state but right now, I’m gearing up to get my first wholesale deal under contract in Suffolk.

With that kind of set up, I bet they never miss a rent payment.

Nicely done. Just curious, how much did you put down?

@Jeff Alwine

Hi, I manage my rental property from out of state. The property is in Texas and I now live in New York (wasn’t my plan but that’s how it worked out). I’ve had the property for a year now. I’ve found that it is MUCH more difficult & more costly to self manage long distance, but if it is worth the deal, than I suggest you get it done. Developing good systems in place reduces the need to make personal visits.

Also, 1.5 hours is not that far of a drive, I’d use the time to catch up on BP podcasts :).
