Get a maintenance contract on your hard systems that feature 2x a year service.

The interface is user-friendly, and the reporting tools are especially helpful for tracking property performance.One downside is that it can be a bit pricey for smaller portfolios, but the features have been worth it for me.

Everything is harder when you do it remote, but you are competing with local investors.
