Is Running Real Estate Remotely A Possibility?

[Bryce Kennebeck]

I'm starting work soon on a Cargo Ship where I will be away from up to 6 Months at most and without cell or internet for about a week at most. My question is  will it be possible for me to own and rent out property's with these circumstances? My thought to circumnavigate this issue is to have someone run it for me while I am gone (Preferably a family member) and/or possibly buy a satellite phone to call and text anytime to maintain the property. Does this sound viable or is it not plausible? I'm not sure how property management company's work but would me just having a cellphone while over seas be enough to run things back at the property given im not going to be doing renovations or and projects unless i'm back from a contract?
