Flying in monthly helps, but having a local contact (realtor, manager, or trusted partner) is key for regular updates.Use tools like progress photos, video calls, or project management apps to stay connected, and schedule visits at critical stages of the project.

It’s a good gesture assuming it is part of what gets regularly checked and restocked if needed. 

Regularly communicate with them to stay updated on progress and address any issues promptly.

Reporting is regular and sufficient.

Being new to this process, it seems a regular referral form won't work.

Network with investors, analyze properties regularly and build a strong team early.Good luck!

Are you doing regular long term rentals there?

Good thing is they don't have rules about the interior remodeling (except the regular county permitting process).

For instance, how did the due diligence "come back as clean" and the "leases were solid" if the rent was not paid up to date and paid REGULARLY?  

A nice but rental quality unit gets 1500-1650 regularly in that area depending on the size and finishes.
