I have a 2006 Ram 1500 that only gets 10-12 MPG but I have a 1995 Subaru that I drive daily so gas mileage isn't really an issue.  

Another option is going the turnkey route, where although you will be a long-distance landlord your level of involvement will still be minimal, as the turnkey company and the property manager handle most of the daily hassles. 

Up until that time you should check on the property daily to make sure everything is ok.Leave the temperature at a normal setting around 68 degrees.

My greatest marketing tool as a wholesaler in the Nashville area has been attending real estate investor meetings, and networking with other investors on a daily.

This would probably require a significant hair cut to make it attractive but would end up with the same scenario as #2 - the ability to complete a full exchange.

They told me labor cost is more in mid-west than in CA - at which point I couldn't stop myself from pulling my hairs.

Let me know if you have any questions or wish to see the daily reports I get.  

If you got your license, you would have traIning through your brokerage and others you interacted with on a daily basis.  

Financing both my existing properties and working on getting financing for the complex required what seemed like daily conversation with my banker and realtor about what they need and updates on where we were on the contract/amendments. 

(I’m IN town and got taken for $15k and it’s hard to get paid even knowing where they live.)I have my contractors send me daily pictures, especially before payment draws.
