This is new to me and scares me, but I really want to tackle this fear and become comfortable with  investing out of state. 

This has stopped spam sales calls.

PS: When I spoke to the Maryland real estate commission they made it very clear that buyers who spam low ball one page faxes, are still entitled to having that offer presented to the seller.

That is spamming.

(I intend to tackle this myself, because I do not trust others with my money, but if I have to, I will hire an accountant to help.)* You need to file state tax return in each state you own that has state tax!!

Your response was very helpful and has also opened the door to some additional questions that I will tackle as time permits. 

@Henry LazerowHere are many daydreamers one asked how to invest a million in cash and giving the impression of not having a relationship with money, he either never had to work for money or does not have a million seems some ppl dont have anything to do except spamming forums...Just my 2 cents

If there is a pattern of abuse, as is the case with airBNB, you tackle the problem at the source.

You are correct to some extent in that it is a very hard thing to tackle, but I for one would not mind paying for the children as long as they are being taught responsibility.

Thank you @Stephen Barton  sounds easy enough, of course due diligence is always a good idea, walk-through on the day of is a good idea.I don't need any more spams :)  but will reach out when we are ready.
