A frequent question we are asked at CPI is "does it matter if I invest locally or further away?" This is a totally normal question particularly when you are starting out and there are lots of loose ends. There's a lot of choices to think about: what sector should I choose, what size of property, what's a good return, how much should I spend and of course where do I invest? The grass can always seem greener on the other side of the fence, but the choice of where it is best for you to invest is ultimately down to you and your personal circumstances. In this episode Jerry focuses on some of the issues you can factor into your decision making process.  He shares some of his experiences investing at a distance and how it has shaped his current investing strategies.
