We coordinated everything with her daughter in Las Vegas and made sure the logistics were seamless.Throughout this process, we used Google Translate to communicate with Anna, which slowed things down but allowed us to ensure we were on the same page every step of the way.

Send out the mailers to buyers and sellers, answer the calls, coordinate the deal and collect your check!

It takes time to answer calls, book reservations, coordinate cleaners, pay the taxes, build monthly statements, etc.

Hi Scott, I have 2 rentals that I self manage and am really happy with Lodgify to coordinate messaging, sync calendars etc. 

If I have 4 properties of my own really I have to convince IRS that I have to put 750 hrs to be considered as RE professional why not something less as every year I spend enough hrs to find tenants/screen them/coordinate with my handyman/cleaners/ HOA to manage all my properties..I am tending to believe that if I show some minimum criteria for hrs in my RE work IRS would be nice to me :)

We need to make ourselves available to conduct showings, hold in-person and phone meetings, write contracts, coordinate inspectors, appraisers, attorneys, etc, negotiate contracts and pricing, coach people on the process and do what we can to present the home in a way - whether in photos and in-person - so that it will sell in a reasonable amount of time at a fair price. 

You are right, there's a balance of economies of scales vs. efficiencies over coordination with tenants of each unit.

This is a ground-up development coordinated by CC&F (https://ccfne.com/), an operator that has been in business for 120 years and has built over 100 million sq ft of commercial real estate.

This applies to house hunters for construction crews (or high-value individuals), insurance claim relocation specialists, and nursing contract placement coordinators. 

They had a very detailed scope of work provided and they were acting as the GC, by coordinating all the trade skills.
