Once you have this team in place, you should have the foundation to invest in any market confidently while not being there physically.

For instance just to place a commercial tenant (no physical changes to the space) the Borough required us to pay $5000 for an architect to draw the space. 

I used my physical address as the administrator address and was bombarded with a lot of unwanted mail and this time I’d like to keep that separate.So in general, is this something that is acceptable?

That's why you invest, don't trade, in physical assets. 

I do agree with Evolve's model on one point though -- that the PM does not have to be physically stationed in the local market.

Even in a mediocre market, if you have a great agent and a great PM, you will outperform a great market with a mediocre PM and agent.That's also why I think it makes no sense to invest in 17 different markets: you don't know much about any of them, you have to build a network of people in every market, the law is different in every State and it's physically/economically impossible to visit any. (1-4 units anyway, large commercial is different). 

LolYou also mention cold therapy.

Had tenants physically threaten me when I went to make repairs and asked them why they caused the damages. 

My financial objective is Teak production and sales to India/China/Europe and also procuring physical locations that won't be for sale in the future.
