Also, you may want to talk to your local sheriff regarding monitoring the place on their daily patrols.

My two goals are to 1) make it easier on my CPA with a simple yearly report to help with my taxes and 2) monitor my profit/loss/etc. 

The escrow company reported the payments to credit monitoring.

Currently I have a Nest cam on it so if we get any rain, I can monitor it from my phone and listen in/watch to make sure it's starting.  

Three properties to buy and manage is at least 3X the time you are spending now monitoring your single property.

Monitor the money they have availible to them--require 75% of it to be saved in the big jar (one for each child), the other 25% can go into SMALLER Ball Jars (one for each child) that lives in the kitchen food cupboard (next to the Campbell's soup (I assume you have that child favorite) with the lid on TIGHT.All buying decisions must be made with the help of the parents, and a paper chit replacing the money in the jar showing what is spent (ie. $22.50 for new doll clothes March 1, 2023).When a new purchase is wanted Butterfly Hair Barrets for $3.00, discuss it, and remind her of the other purchases she made, for how much and (How Often).It''s not about saving as much as learning to spend thriftily, Mrs Dolly goes on sale before school starts--why not buy then.Large jar = savings, small jar = spendables--with discussion--to get them to think before spending.Teach them to grocery shop (boys too), one at a time, (take turns) make a grocery list with her for 3 days worth of meals for the family.Teach them about sales on foods, and then go with her and let her pick and put in the cart as well as total up the costs on her phone as you go.When it's time to pay, give her the cash and let her put all the items on the checkout roller, as well as keep the amount she saved as payment for shopping for the family. 3/4 into savings 1/4 into spendings.Try to get them involved in prepping each of the meals they bought (one at a time) (boys too) so they can get a feel for (where the money goes).Two or three times of this--and they will probably be an expert at (saving) on the food bill, as well as getting some eperiances and confidence in the kitchen (vs play cooking or just making cookies with a parent).Good Luck!

And maybe you marry that with a ring video system to monitor if they decide to stay or steal something.in some of the markets I have worked your houses would be stripped in a minute.. maybe not by the person who you let in but they would let the cousin know LOL.. 

I would highly recommend having a trustworthy group of people in the area that can monitor progress for you and get you updates!

Hi all,I purchased a house in Detroit (buy & hold) but I need a company that offers a service to monitor for possible blight violations since I live in Atlanta. 

If you want to keep that human touch and make sure you are in the loop about things, there are software "tools" that still allow you to control/monitor your tenants.
