Looking at their forums, their moderators are against any kind of growth or adaptation of new technologies. 

Technology has made remote property ownership very feasible.  

I am seeing some AMAZING deals in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge as well as the Blue ridge are of N Ga that are HUGE equity gains because prices are lower in this buyers market and also cash flowing much better than last year.

Those losses can be substantial, by the way within an HVAC system-Again I doubt these technologies would hold up under scrutiny within a court of law because all it takes is one person with even a basic grasp of principles of engineering and you’d find an easy 10+% delta in these systems’ measuring abilities.

These types of places typically don't use alot of technology or have great systems, making it easy from a management perspective to turn things around. 

I’m not only working on my case with these buyers and a DeKalb Pastor & Chaplain of DeKalb Sherriff Office on over 2.5M...but this now appears to be related to a HUGE Mortgage Fraud Criminal Ring here in Metro Atlanta with quite a few of confirmed fraudulent documents on many properties as more evidence shows up.Some of the names I have confirmed provided or created fraudulent bank statement, operating agreements and forged QCD docs to obtain mortgages illegally then allow them to foreclose.

Technology has been been a huge factor for both. 

If you do not like bookkeeping/accounting/technology, hire a bookkeeper specializing in real estate investors.

Technology is a good partner the more you know on your own.You should make a list of areas you might be interested in first - maybe you lived there or have friends there, you always wanted to go there - and then compare that list to some best areas list, do some of your own research, and then use a major data tool to look.

I will add, with technology, it is quite easy for overseas investors to invest practically anywhere in the US.
