Also minimize your interactions with her.

@Bryan LaFor us, the first step in screening is the initial phone call and in-person interaction when they tour the property.

@Nicholas Aiola - For folks interested in hiring you/your firm for CPA services, does your firm specialize in real estate tax, or do you advise on other areas as well, such as, IPO stock options, interact with clients’ wealth managers on tax efficiencies, etc? 

Im lucky to work in an interactive office environment for a private company, where I have the ear of some successful operators.Everyone learns differently, but without the working experience I now have (and continue to compile, every day), my path to operator would surely be a bit longer. 

A mentor that charges is a coach, not a mentor.100% of what you need to know you likely can ask here & going to those interactive meetings.

That can be through interaction here on BiggerPockets, or it could be a local investors group.Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of your screen and you can search for other MEMBERS or LOCAL MEETUPS.

Normally the Trustee is empowered to sell without beneficiary interaction, but occasionally the beneficiary could be involved. 

Last thing you want to do is set it up wrong and have to go through probate anywaysNot saying those other sites are not good, but I always have questions that I want to speak to a human with and that is why I am ok with paying more for that interaction

Remote can be...Marketing, Lease Signing, Lockouts (install coded smart doors), background checks & screening, Virtual Tours, Payments (online or ACH debits)Live In Person (local team)...Showing units, Posting Notices, Evictions, Dealing with Complaints (some need live interaction), Maintenance Calls, Property Condition Tours, Meeting Utility Companies, Meeting Contractors, verifying Contractors work, Live personal touch with residents (can improve tenant relations depending on property), Cleaning, Turns, Police CallsThrough the years, I've learned that there are places to save money and places to invest.
