I was thinking of OOS, but reading your post I think It would be to much risk and have decided if I'm going to pull the trigger on something like this, I would be moving to that location.

STR's aren't impossible here, but depending on the area, you'll find them to be extremely seasonal.Other strategies that have worked for me and my clients is the MTR route, there's a robust hospital system in both NYC & LI that is always hiring contracted nurses for 3-6 months contracts.

We are probably going back into acquisition mode here shortly but want to shore up things before that happens.I also spent the last few months building out a centralized notion to manage all the document, to dos, etc but have pulled the trigger on VAs as the cash flow isn't there yet to support someone full time.

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

Which CAN trigger the due on sale clause.

.- A PMC is not going to go to the extremes owners do as a PMC can only afford to spend X amount of time on problems for owners - or go out of business.

I haven't pulled the trigger yet - still looking at different paths. 

Obviously it is a very different experience than walking the property in person so any advice would be extremely helpful and appreciated.
