I was forced to build systems that took me out of the question because I was on the other side of the world in a backward timezone with crappy internet. 

You probably want a PM if you will be in a completely different time zone and you have never done this before.   

That's also when the time zone can hurt you.

It’s basically California … Except the long flight plus losing 3 hrs to pesky time zones and the drive lol

I’ve found Porter’s support team usually gets back to me most often between 20-24 hours after I ping them, which may be due to time zone differences.  

Hi Hunter.Hiring a rockstar property manager would probably be the best way to keep your properties up and running, especially being so many time zones apart.

The intent is she will be an in between to handle phone calls (we’re in a different time zone) and handing over keys etc.

He is not in Abilene but atleast in the right time zone so this was very helpful.
