A feature that our Pro Members love is the fact that they can manage of all their rental properties for free using RentRedi.

Navigating eviction and collecting past due rent can certainly be challenging, especially while managing property from out of town.For managing the process remotely, I’d recommend joining the **Chicago Friendly Landlord group** on Facebook.

It will be remote, but since you live there now, you probably already have connections who either already know the house or local friends to find you good people to service things as needed.  

Hi BiggerPockets community,I’m new to real estate investing and currently running a remote operation to help connect investors with distressed homeowners and foreclosed properties across various markets.

A smart lock and smart thermostat are also essential for managing remotely.

from a laptop or mobile phone on one of my SFR's (internet must be hooked up, but most tenants do it anyway and like to be able to monitor the outside of the house remotely, even if there's nothing going on.)

Part of the reason coastal values haven't quite scaled to heights of neighboring states is the remoteness and lack of winter sports and high end amenities and entertainment, but that doesn't mean trophy estates, ranches and homes don't exist.

If your target tenant is looking for a car-less lifestyle then you’re going to be competing with units close-in so you’ll have to win on price or features to get them out to 82nd.

@Jesse CoolAre you comfortable working with your CPA remotely?

Martin and Julie McCoy--they are both very good at remote STR management.Good luck!
