I would particularly love to help someone within the Atlanta area with a fixer-upper by providing some physical labor.

I wish someone had told me about this when I bought my first place.I run a Property Management company and would only recommend a property mgr if you are cash positive or physically cannot tend to the property.  

That being said, I've definitely signed leases for properties that were on the other side of the country and I didn't get a chance to physically see them before signing the lease.

The engineer should be able to advise on the best lot line outcome, especially if there are physical circumstances to consider, such as wetlands.

I have my own leads (name of decedent, physical address of property, personal representative for the estate, Their physical address.

Yes, You can buy and asset, fix it up and rent it out to make money without you physically having to work for the money. 

I felt physically sick and had to go tell my wife..

I can have multiple one use code for contractors so I can control access without physically going there.You do not need to carry the key, just need to keep track all codesMain disadvantage is that the locking requires the door to close properly, otherwise the tenant may not know the door is not licked.

The owner has purchased a property like any other real estate transaction, and they own the physical property. 

I got into this by accident when i took a job via upwork as a VA  for Vontive and stated at interview  i could lower there costs and stress by automating there lead gen.I automated the lead gen and they didnt need 5 0f the 6 VAs they hired and we cut there costs by nearly 60%.Thats when i realised that you could automate even the cross platform data scraping.Then i got some extra clients from Upwork and now Im on here to help, offer the same and expand to others.going to the recorder office/courtYou only need to go to the physical building if thre is information on the documents that you need but cant view online.
