So if you really just feel like you do not want to do it yourself (and you absolutely can do it yourself), look for smaller management companies WHO UTILIZE THE TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE such as pricing optimization tools (ex: Haven Vacation Rentals or @Collin H. on the forums in The Smokies).

While my wife currently works in Colorado Springs and builds the foundation for our endeavor, I am still working in Switzerland for Dell Technologies. 

This is very far reaching and remaining anon today seems impossible with such information gathering technology.

@Yusef GriffinEveryone's needs are different.With that said - I think the first thing you should look for is an Accountant/CPA who is competent in dealing with your tax profile(real estate taxes in this situation).In today's day and age, technology has made it easy for communication between people far apart.In reality - even if you had an accountant down block from where you live, he will likely prefer an email/scheduled phone call over a walk in visit.California taxes are likely one of the more complex state taxes so you should find someone who is familiar with California state taxes(at least through 2019).There are many accountants on Biggerpockets who are familiar with real estate taxation.

This is all being currently organized in my real estate investment business plan which is a living document I am developing as the writing of this to hash out people, process and technology my business will deploy.    

Also, if you happen to be interested in construction or technology. 

Marketing material posted online sketch a plan for a 5,000-acre “World Trade Center Austin,” with a mixed-use industrial campus and technology park surrounding the private airport.This project has has rumors circling it for years but has seen a massive uptick in recent months.  

I want to be able to scale my properties and I’m a big believer in technology and processes so I needed property management software for all the things I mentioned above.

It's the newest technology that is transforming the re-finishing industry for bath tubs.

As you know, real estate is a constantly evolving industry that is influenced by a variety of economic, demographic, and technological factors.
