Each state has different laws regarding tax liabilities, etc. Speak with an attorney and a tax professional in your state of residence, as well as the other state(s) in which you own real estate to learn about the implications. All the best to you!

Whether or not buying an investment property in a different state is a good idea is going to be up to you. If you are going to do so you will need a good property manager and this will add an expense layer that may or may not be necessary should you buy locally.In any case when looking for an investment property you need access to the MLS. For properties such as single family homes, duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes the residential MLS should work. The national search networks can give you some information and an over view but the local MLS will be much more accurate and up to date. For this you will need an real estate agent in the local area. I would suggest using an agent who is also a Realtor and find one who is familiar with residential investment property. They will know how to look beyond the listing and give you a fairly accurate idea of projected income and expenses, neighborhood demographics etc. They will essentially be your eyes and ears.Logistically, should you find a property you wish to buy it will work much the same as any other sale. An offer is made and price and terms and disclosures are made. Inspections are done and financing is completed and a closing attorney or escrow or title officer prepares papers and the transaction is closed.I would suggest setting up an LLC in the state the property is located.Free advice so I know it’s worth the price. Even with my years of experience I would hesitate getting involved with a long distance transaction unless it was in a city I could drive to in one day. I live in Atlanta so there are places in So. Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama or even the Florida panhandle I would consider, but the deal would have to be awesome. I prefer to stick close to home.
