Or a blend of both. 

To me this neighborhood offers a very good blend of being reasonably priced, very active (alot of rehab going on), lots of families, close to Swamp Rabbit Trail, and is just a 10 min drive from downtown Greenville.Good luck with your search!

A parlor was converted to a bedroom by making the entrance smaller and adding a door so I'm not sure what I will find behind that paneling, its probably not plaster and lath so I'll need to make the drywall portion blend seamlessly with the rest of the plaster wall.

The 1031 process is seamless for you ( you market and sell and then shop and buy like normal) other than having a qualified intermediary to guide you through some procedural hoops. 

Beyond that, as with any business, I would think where you want to be, and start getting systems in place now, so as you grow, it is as close to seamless as possible with each new property. 

With the advancement in technology and the mad dash to make everyday life happen remotely I believe now more than ever investing from out of state can be seamless.

It has all of the feature you are looking for including the online rent collection, however, it might be more seamless to integrate QBO with cozy.co.

I normally write off properties with converted garages or tacky additions, but this one was surprisingly well done and looks seamless to the untrained. 

Pretty seamless, but they did have to review my trust agreement to ensure i was the beneficiary.They may be being difficult or lazy, or they may not be comfortable with a land trust. 

I think the key is to find a blend of the two.
