Long Distance Property Management?

[Brian Lewis]

I'm a long-distance investor and have professional property management in place.  Today, the PM pitched the idea of working with one of his wholesaler contacts to buy properties in a different market.  So far so good... Then he brings up that he would still be the PM.  I'm certainly no expert here, but that seems to defy logic.  Me spending money from a distance is one thing, but how do you manage remotely?  We have a call scheduled to discuss specifics, but I'm looking to get you guys' takes on the info i currently have.

thanks!
