The one thing I like about my one out of state rental, that I have had for 15 years, is that I don’t do any of the repair work myself. Doing a facetime with the tenant or contractor shows me pretty much all I need to see to stay on top of issues.

Vs my San Diego rental, that I find myself being too hands-on to save a buck.

With that said, I wouldn’t advise owning out of state unless you vacation there or are getting a crazy deal.
