They said they do not have the in-house personnel to do this work and I (or whoever) would need to have it done ahead of time, and that they would need copies of that information filed with the prevailing county to proceed (the deceased's homestead was in a different county than the target property).I am getting a quick opinion from my real estate attorney's on retainer to see if I need a probate attorney or if this scenario is simple "any attorney can do it" business.Getting under contract is top priority and in progress.  

Working with their maintenance personnel we are making improvements to there quality of work. 

As we are expanding, we have an increased need for more personnel.

I lot of the military personnel stationed there try to live in Fort Collins or closer to it to the south because it has (IMHO) much more to offer.

The only problem being stationed there is because of my status I can't buy and own property as military personnel.

It is affordable, the National park is gaining in popularity and brings a lot of business to the area, the city is investing heavily into a downtown revitalization plan, there is a military base nearby with a constant flow of military personnel living offsite, etc...Problem is, I can't technically be "owner occupied", so that is basically off limits for now.

The economies of scale often don't really kick in until you have enough units to keep maintenance personnel working full time. 

When most people think of investing out of area (crossing state lines or not) they think about logistics - finding contractors, agents, managers, repair personnel, etc.  

As a property manager, if you are going to lease, rent, list, or offer to perform any of those acts, you will need a broker's license.In North Carolina the only people that can manage real estate are:a licensed realtor; the property owner; employees of the property owner; ...such as a manager in the owner's limited liability company; and clerical, maintenance or janitorial personnel or other people ~ who are not involved in the renting' or leasing of real estate.Here is the link to the  NCREC - License Law, Rules, and Guidelines.
