OOS: How can vendors access property to provide quotes?

[Bastian Kneuse]

I am an out-of-state investor. I just acquired a property that needs some light rehab. I am in the process to have vendors provide bids/quotes on the rehab work. How do you manage to provide contractors/vendors access to your property while being an out-of-state investor? Picking up/dropping off keys from property manager office is challenging, because property is about 20 mins away; ~40 min round trip. Do you use a lock box so contractors/vendor can access the property when providing bids? Keys under the door mat? Any other ideas/solutions that worked for you?
