@Jay Hinrichs - I tried doing it without a lawyer a few years ago and the other side refused to accept any communication without a lawyer. 

Technology advancements such as email, phone calls, skype has enabled communication with a remote CPA to be seamless.

This is the biggest challenge in long distance investing- I'd recommend you start interviewing again, and in your agreement with a new PM, very specifically line out what your communication and service expectations are so that there is no misunderstanding from the get go.  

Chase marketing and Chase legal don't communicate the way people would expect them to

Zillow, Trulia, etc.) and I would be managing the listing posts, tenant screening and communications remotely.

During this time, Kevin also had seen a property he would like to buy and had put in an offer to purchase which was accepted on Feb. 5th, the day an email went out to Cancel the original Contract.At the same time, the Mortgage Bank then closed the Application since there was no point in continuing as the Seller could not deliver Marketable Title and the Mortgage Contingency had expired.The Seller's Attorney stopped communicating with Kevin's Attorney.

There should be a lot more communication between you and the landlord.

@Pauline Herschel Communication is key. 

Looking for a reliable pm who is communicative, honest and transparent.

Plus, a master communicator 😂Let’s write a book!!!
