Thinking about buying a rental in another state but not sure what could go wrong? 

In this episode, Melissa shares a real client story about their first out-of-state deal—and the big question they asked: “What risks should I be looking out for?” 

Melissa breaks down: 

• Why neighborhood grade doesn’t guarantee good tenants (yes, even A-class has drama)
• How property managers can make or break your investment
• What “the sleep factor” is—and how to figure out your own risk tolerance
• Why owning more properties can actually be less risky (seriously)

She also shares a personal story about water damage, a bad PM, and how a $0 problem turned into a $$$ one because of poor communication.
 
Whether you're a new investor or scaling up, this episode is packed with real talk, real lessons, and simple strategies to help you invest smarter—not scarier.
