Weeks later we received an answer from their CEO.

He is currently protesting a rent increase, and travelled from NY to FL to personally harass my family and I last week.

Having a long-term rental while living abroad is do-able.Flipping houses while abroad, in my opinion, more difficult, especially if its your first go around with real estate.I would recommend taking a flight and staying in the area for a week and inspect the neighborhoods and make connections.You can reach out to @Elenis Camargo who has a PM company in Jacksonville.Best of luck though.

I’m actually in Arizona at one of our properties until the beginning of October but am planning to be back in that first week.

Does it really take 60 to 70 hours a week to make little to no money?

I'd like to get weekly updates if we have a vacancy or ongoing issue. 

I update my prices weekly, adjusting just a bit here and there according to my own research.

I've been "Retired" for 7 years since 55 and have loved every day, seven days a week doing Self Storage. 

I did find this deal driving driving for dollars, the realtor of the property was adding his sign in the front yard, I approached to make and offer. we close in 3 weeks.

If the SEC came sniffing around and your main job was raising money and all you do is attend a weekly meeting, good luck to you!
