I recommend having a local experienced investor (an unbiased party not someone trying to sell you something) do a detailed video tour of the property and the street/neighborhood before you submit an offer and paying them for their time $100 or $150.

If you're dead-set on OOS REI, then I'd suggest studying up on the books, articles, forum posts, videos, etc. on the subject, and talking with as many OOS investors as possible (ESPECIALLY inexperienced investors who tried OOS REI for one of their first deals).

If you click that link and scroll down a bit, there is a 5 minite video where Jim takes you through the process.

I had some ideas also which could be like a hot tub or sauna games (pool,video games, airhockey ETC).

It tracks all maintenance requests well and you can make notes, add pictures, videos and communicate directly with the tenant in the maintenance request.

If gathering everyone on the same day isn't feasible, detailed photos and videos of each area needing work can be a great alternative for initial estimates.

I would try am accommodate as much as possible since they have to take days off work.You could do a video walk through to document everything or do it while the cleaners are there.I don't do a post walk with tenant and the new tenant agrees everything is in good condition when they sign the lease.Try and be flexible.

Any suggestions on anything in the video would be greatly appreciated!

If you are not sure what to ask flipwithrick also has specific videos on working with title companies and what to ask.

I’ve made thousands of hours of videos and posts  on the subject, all on YouTube Instagram and FBMy only goal is to stop the misinformation and make people aware that it exists and it’s indeed a viable and quite honestly only option that worked for me after years of trying to break into real estate investing in a HCOL in NY.
