They aren't financially responsible if things don't get fixed etc.In my area many out of state landlords designate a local partner, handyman, etc as being their "agent" for purposes of this requirement.If there is a serious issue with the property, I guess there can be no excuse for the agent not to come to the property quickly to at least evaluate and start to address it unlike someone out of state.

I've used both Avail and Keycheck for background check (credit check, criminal record and eviction history) but am currently using Turbo Tenant because they partner with the banking/bookkeeping platform I use, Baselane, and I like to keep it all in one place.

They only keep payment history for 90 days (depending on banking partner).

My father is a real estate broker out east and is eager to partner with me on this journey as well.I guess my question to you would be, what is the logical way to continue or what would you do if you were in these shoes?

I'd say this deal overall doesn't seem like the best deal given the numbers you gave as well.My business partner and I do investment deals all the time in Phoenix, we should grab coffee sometime and talk through a strategy based on your goals.

Specifically, I am looking to track the projected rehab cost of each unit, cash flow from rented units, first lien costs, general partners and limited partner returns.

That local partner can then become our eyes and ears who has skin in the game with us. 

I've certainly found it harder to find deals than raise money.However, I have a partner and we buy hospitality properties in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia.

A drop-and-swap allows investors to drop out of their current ownership structure, break away from partners and buy a property on their own.
