I work as a physical therapist assistant in a home health setting, which allows me to travel around Tulsa and the surrounding areas, which I absolutely love to do. 

But a contractor's many hair prejudices are based in the kind of physical work we do, and a lot of people don't understand that.

And how does he buy property from auction.com when he’s not even physically here?

I would recommend to go to the local investor meetings in your area as a means of physically networking and possibly finding a mentor.

Not a fan of investments that are not a physical asset.

The physical property just has to appropriately cater to a tenant for a week or so, and repeat business/word of mouth marketing is all about how well kept your property is and how responsive you are to those who inquire about it.

The problem is the owner didn't physically reside on the property.

If you don't have some way to automate the system (or have someone to do it for you), you need to be physically available to make it happen. 

Physically it can be done, but it would neither be safe nor to code.

I haven’t physically walked through the house but i know from talking to real estate company there will need to be repairs in the vacancy apartment.
