I now invest long-distance in the Southern US instead of Baltimore or DC even though obviously investing locally would be logistically easier.

So my humble logistic isI have to start safely having few properties under my belt, and getting experience “Before” I can speak to experienced / rockstar investors.

But I base those on investors who benefit from from a logistical Advantage and an  adequate amount of time hunting and managing deals.

I am working with the key logistics & infrastructure group for the SBA Lenders, banks, & others who are behind the scenes assisting in the colossal undertaking of these loans. 

Since I live abroad outside the US, I'm planning on starting off by buying a single family home in the Kansas City, MO market with the goal of pure cash flow in the 100k-150k price range after rehab, using a turnkey provider for the acquisition and ongoing property management given that I have a full time job and the logistical challenges in orchestrating all the steps from abroad in buying a property. 

I think that if it is about getting as much cash out as possible there are some interesting ways where you can get most of your equity out but the complexity and logistics involved would be so considerable that it would create a whole new slew of issues and questionable outcomes.

The logistics are quite different and take a different skillset.

I'm not sure how the legal logistics of that would work, but it seems doable.

It also makes things a little logistically simpler for financing to have big loans on the Seattle properties and use cash for the out of state properties.

@James Hamling may want to read it as well.So in summary :- The fed let the Tech industry aggressively trim payrol --> (this is happening from MSFT to startup level)- let some banking entities collapse and also do some large payroll cuts --> (from Schwabb to Citibank)- They've also destroyed the logistics business.
