The only thing I can think of that may be harder to deal with if I am not local is routine maintenance issues, but I was thinking I can just ask around for some handy man referrals to have at the ready in case those smaller issues arise, while I would instruct our future tenants to contact our service provider for any emergency issues. 

Just that some contracts and “escrow instructions” being circulated by certain gurus provide for it.IMO that fix may come too late… the DOS cat is already out of the bag.

That form clearly shouldn't be issued against my own SSN. uDirectIRA sent me an instruction to use their trust company's EIN and address.

Still looking for some answers: - Am I able to be at the property to give my contractors instructions on improvements I would like done?  

Instruct the cleaner to close the room off and do not take anything out of the room to prevent the spread of bugs to other areas. 

For example, moving out a tenant includes about 30 steps like pulling their file, emailing them the move-out instructions, changing the lease in my software to "Active - Notice Given", stopping recurring charges and payments, prorating last month's rent, scheduling the pre-inspection, etc.

The instruction offered may be excellent but being that it is only offered weekly in most mentoring programs with the ability to ask additional questions at a resource center will not be able to compete with in depth hands on mentoring that could truly train someone to be successful. 

I hope that's true because Block-head software instructions for 4797 is nuts.IRS: "If you used the home for business, you may have touse Form 4797 to report the sale of the business part".

All you have to do is follow his instructions and they lead to success.
