@Kevin S.Having a will alone still puts you in the minority of the population so good job on that !  

Instead save that for if a real issue comes up and you as an owner need to make sure they're doing their job.

Find properties that are not listed on the MLS for the world to see, get them under contract, then assign the contract to an investor for a markup (but a list price that makes sense with the amount of repairs needed).This is not an easy job.

Mainly my realtor as my boots on the ground checking the job done by the contractor, and my contractor who was doing the work.

I live near my properties and still would employ the same systems as I have a day job and can't be there much anymore.

Thanks for the reply, job and employment data is should help me determine upcoming demand.

This is a big job and even if the tenant is trustworthy, the electrician may not be.

Investing in land is an old method and it does a good job at holding value.

While I was able to leave my job after 30, it hasn't been comfortable.
