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. 

We are more likely to simply reduce our asking rent than offer a concession.FWIW, I did not read the attached article.

BTW, I've been trying to post this for several days (ever since the article in WaPo came out).

HI @Ananth SubramanianI have not been in your shoes but have read others that have and from what it sounds like getting the judgement is the easy part and physically collecting the $$ from the tenants is the hardest most impossible part.

There are some hyper specific forums on here as well for everything under the sun, and tons of amazing articles.

Imagine you aren't able to make a phone call to get information and you need to physically go to where the person is to speak with them. 

I had seen the article last week and it is very informative for a remote investor.

I considered sound proofing the ceiling of the unit below but I’m reading articles saying that it can be very pricey and it won’t make a major difference.

Common tasks include guiding (for example, blind, severe physical disability), alerting (severe diabetes, seizures), retrieving/operating (pushing buttons, switches, etc).

Since the payment was deposited into your account on 1/6/2025, it would typically be considered income for 2025, even though the tenant paid it on 12/31/2024.However, if you use cash-basis accounting (which most landlords do), the key factor is when you physically receive the money, not when it was sent or owed.
