One thing I still have yet to figure out is, how do I invest and stay on top of things while out in the middle of the ocean (underway, deployment)?

I'll state a bunch of facts and then ask my questions:- Tenant lives on the 2nd floor of a 3 floor house that is a legal duplex- My father occupies the 3rd-floor space of the duplex, which is basically an efficiency- The electricity for the 2nd and 3rd floor are on the same meter- After moving in, the tenant could not put electricity in her own name due to credit issues- I setup the electric account in my name and added to the lease that the tenant is responsible for anything over 50.00, which my father pays as part of the electric and is more than his fair share of the bill- The tenant lied on her rental application about having an eviction, which I did not know was underway when she moved in.
