Anybody own rental property? I'm thinking of buying one!

I successfully (and lucratively) owned two rental townhouses (simultaneously) in the past; BUT - they were local to me.

I absolutely cannot envision owning a rental long-distance, particularly as a first-time landlord.

It could work out, but so many things would have to go right and align for that to happen.
I would not recommend trying to do it.
