Matthew,It is really important to vet multiple operators for this asset type.

sounds ridiculous but a situation ive encountered multiple times. ask yourself how much extra work you want in your life, offsite landlords get put out of business regularly, I've seen it over and over again. consider your options and learn everything but diving in.

I have multiple properties in the Tri-Cities.

But, as I've tried to point out multiple times on similar forums, where is the accountability to the advocates and bureaucrats when the poor and downtrodden's situation only gets worse due to these policies? 

If you found a larger property, say a 20-30 unit property, you could sell multiple houses and 1031 them into it or do a mix of houses and a loan.

I have had multiple incidents ruining my units.

You can also consider doing a 1031 exchange to an out of state property or to multiple properties. 

Nearly one-quarter of family office have multiple 'branches' often to support the families in other countries. 

Approached multiple real estate agents in my market with the attempt of understanding pocket deals and to make offers on distressed on-market properties they have listed on the MLS.

You can also provide multiple invoices to show no dramatic drops in usage, which would indicate the heat was still on.If the landlord doesn't have a bill, that may indicate the utility was off.
