And don't listen to a real estate agent that tells you how easy it is and that "virtually all of my out of state clients buy without seeing and never visit the property". 

As I grow I will hire a virtual assistant to take a few more tasks off my plate to allow me to live the same lifestyle. 

Even if you have a good framework, it's much harder to manage virtually and stay on track.

i have lived in California virtually my entire life and have never been solicited for a bj.  

We went completely distributed and virtual from the jump because I believe that's where professional services is headed in the next 10+ years.  

I could easily train virtual assistants to handle these payments and have an app created for encrypting sensitive data for facilitating the transactions through financial service partners from my main line of business.

I'm developing an AI-enabled analysis and lead generation tool for REI.  

Also, when it comes to negotiating the rent: - Should I ask for a phone call or virtual meeting to discuss the price?

Back when we started virtually everything had positive cash flow but I was lured by the seemingly higher cash flow associated with class C.  

Both virtually and in-person.This will help you learn the industry and the market.
