A lot great advice, I love all the great input and different perspectives.

Google Forms are nice to input cash transactions directly into spreadsheet, to get applications from tenants, to ask virtual assistants to enter data.

If I have a specific area I'm looking in I would call multiple agents to ask about the area.I also reach out to communities like this and ask for others' input as well as recommendations for a good crew- handyman, plumbing, etc.Visiting in person sometime in the beginning would be ideal so the neighbors can know you and help give you info when you're gone.And it may just be me but I like to partner with locals

There are LL that are doing nothing to verify the authenticity of ESAs.  

Bill, thanks for the input! 

Appraisers don't usually want any input from you.

I'm not sure how the interest rates are going to change in the next few months, so I'm a bit stuck.Thanks in advance for your input!
