Hi do a lot of work in Kansas city and I live in ontario  have a full team there I trust  that is the key to long distance projects more then willing to share but  I never take on a project untill I have a full team in place  just me once I have the team I find the property get a vidio walk through or good pictures, send in the contractor for an estimate  and the inspector for a report   then if it is still in budget close and have my property manager supervise the project.

Puppies grow up and start other bad behaviors if not supervised like chewing, digging, scratching and peeing/pooping to bigger levels. 

You have to hire someone, train them, and then regularly supervise them to ensure they are doing things the way you want.

A friend of mine is a real estate investor in San Diego (North county area) and is looking for someone on a part-time basis to help with supervising and fixing up his rental units.

@Vince Lucas so how have you structured your compensation; just the commissions on the buy and then subsequent sale, the management residual, a flat fee for sourcing and supervising the rehab (hold or flip), a % of the rehab costs?

You don't see many orthopedic surgeons running direct mail campaigns, bidding on properties at the courthouse steps, fostering broker relationships, walking and vetting B and C class apartment communities, supervising flips and rehab, etc. 

I have eight years left on the lease.I have three problems with the laundry company, first they supply very old inefficient equipment and refuses to update and second, they check the washer / dryer proceeds without me being there to supervise, third they refuse to provide an accounting of how much money they take in and how they are calculating my part of the proceeds.I would love to get out of this contract but don't see how. 

However, I did hire individuals for tasks (I was the GC) and I did supervise on a relatively regular basis (after they completed a task and I inspected, I paid them).

Most states require that you have a real estate license and be working under a supervising broker before marketing a property that you don't own. 

Syndicators evaluate markets and submarkets, locate the properties, perform due dilligence, negotiate prices, pay the attorneys, line up and qualify for the debt, interview and hire property managers, supervise staff,  manage the asset, work with CPA's to issue K1s, and when its time to sell they manage the entire sales and disposition process.
