to each their own – surveyor (haven’t heard from him lately) owns multiple properties out of the state
I would never own rental property out of the state – too easy to be screwed by tenants or local management that knows you aren’t around
I managed my properties myself and found that 45 minutes away was too far to own a property if you are also working full time (one of my beach properties was 45 minutes away with no traffic and as much as 1 1/2 hours in work or weekend traffic – not much fun dealing with tenants or doing turnovers / showings when a visit to the property meant 1 1/2 to 3 hours of driving)
