How to manage out of state property with no manager

[Jolene Blackbourn]

I purchased a house a few months ago.  Since that time the manager has not communicated with me, my tenants had no central air all summer and I didn't know and there were many other issues.  My property manager quit last week.  I apologized to the tenants and said let's start over as of 9/1.  They owe me back rent and are angry about the repairs that I didn't know about so I think we are pretty even.  They have decided today to move out and break the lease.  It's already such a mess that I'm happy to get them out and start over.  But I'm not sure how to do a post move out inspection or get a new tenant in!  I'm half a country away!  I just paid for a year of BP and Avail and would hate to see that money go to waste.  I hated the property manager so not sure I want to try a new one.  How do you show a property to a prospective tenant from out of state?  How do you do all this back and forth in between stuff from out of state?  I'm in CA and the house is in KY.
