Remote Rehabs - How do you do it efficiently?

[Jason Medina]

Hi Everyone, 

I live out in Los Angeles and working on my 5th property out of the Orlando area and one thing I'm always challenged with are remote rehabs.  The rehabs I've done locally are a lot easier as I can walk the property and apply painter's tape to areas I want addressed during the rehab, or resolve any communication issues real time.  I don't have such a luxury being a remote rehabber.  So I'm always nickel and dimed at the end for little items that should have been taken care of during the rehab which is sometimes understandable but the most precious thing I'm losing is time as the contractors have to be scheduled again to come out and then another inspection has to happen.  What is typically a 30 day rehab runs to 60+ days.  I have a property manager that overseas it but I feel like no one loves my property like me to give it the attention it needs.

My question for you all in similar situations.  How do you guys handle this?

Thanks, 

Jason
