It has nothing to do with the financial performance of the offering.

You typically fall into a deal or two at the start, but then you have to really go to work to keep it going.Biggest mistake most investors make is assuming all properties perform the same, regardless of location, tenant pool, etc.Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.When investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

Over time, those investments tend to not perform better, they perform worse. 

If the property is tenant occupied, you should require your tenants to have renters policies and lastly and just as important as the insurance you obtain is knowing all vendors you rely upon to perform work at the property and on your behalf are properly insured.

A little bit about me thats not related to real estate, I have lived in NWA for 10+ years and I love to call this place home, I am also a sports/adventure photographer sometimes, I love hiking and skiing, and somehow after all these years in Bentonville I am just now getting into mountain biking and I love it! 

Employee Management: Given the absentee nature of the business, how do you ensure quality staff performance and customer service in your absence?

One helpful tip is setup draws in which you follow a detailed estimate of which work will be performed and once that work is done you send out a payment.

A further note:  It would be impossible to perform background checks on illegals.
