I'm a Realtor and Sherman native of 20+ years.

Only potentially bad things can happen when you tell tenants "No" or hold them accountable to their lease.Being onsite and being able to react to everything will teach you a LOT of valuable lessons.

It’s a long-term hedge against inflation, and unlike stocks, it allows you to control your investment through strategy, improvements, and management...not just hope the market cooperates.So while the S&P might look “easier” on paper right now, the better question is: do you want your money working predictably in a hard asset, or reacting to headlines?

I am a Michigan native so I can help a bit with the TC properties you've looked at. 

There are countless of areas near me that I have yet to explore and fully understand - and I am a native born and raised here.If you are really serious about out of state investing, really get to know the area and have someone you can really trust to guide you properly. 

This ensures all tenant messages are automatically logged and organized, while still allowing landlords to natively text back from their personal phone.Like you said, most tools require landlords to send and receive messages inside a platform.

Hi @Nick Larson,I am a San Diego Native, and have used the BRRR method in a multitude of ways, both locally and out of state.As many people here have said the methodology behind BRRR does not work quickly in San Diego anymore.

I'm a Florida native currently living in NYC with plans to move back in a few years.

(All this is assuming for the first time ever, 100% of the inspectors problems were real problems and you’re not over reacting.) 

Markets really do react to both dataand emotion!
