I do all of this remotely, so I use the above process to filter out 90% of the properties and then send the other 10% to my local team for verification.

I believe that connecting with experienced investors and fellow newcomers will be invaluable as I navigate this path.I am particularly interested in short term rentals, multi-family rentals, and possibly fix and flips. 

I think the OP is lucky not to have experienced catastrophic failure yet.

This is where the true opportunities are.Detroit, starting with Downtown is experiencing a massive redevelopment, at this point its no longer a secret. 

It's important to network in order to orchestrate a team for flips.

P.S. also reach out to experienced real estate agents that cater to buy and hold investors and let them know of your intentions and availability.

I’m looking for advice from experienced landlords or lawyers who might have ideas on how landlords like me can deal with such situations.

@Mark Lee this is a team that I have used multiple times and like it was mentioned, they don't have to be anywhere near you.

I see that we have responded to each of your emails sent from our support team, but please keep an eye out in your inbox as I will be reaching out to you individually to help with any further information.

I use this and share with my team (i.e) drone photographers, VAs, reatlors, partners, etc.Zoho Forms, I use this to collect info from leads, buyers, etc.Zoho Desk, this is a ticketing where all inquires go to and since it integrates with Zoho Forms, it creates a ticket within Zoho Desk + New Lead within Zoho.Zoho Cliq, similar to slack, I communicate with my team with this software.
