I plan after meeting the team, verifying the deals and "looking the bloke in his beady little eyes" as he put it, to connect with a realtor or other professional to do the walk thru for me in the future as I don't want to have to make that trip each time.    

PLEASE hire a PM co, winterize cost is about $150, or just put the heat on 60, and drip the water, 

Rather than hosting people that say for a week at most, we've been targeting traveling professionals.

I would recommend you hire a Cleveland area property manager ASAP and put this into their hands.

FYI: It’s a 5 bedroom- 4 bath, I’m looking for a group of professional roommates or a family. 

I am an out of state investor to IN, however in my local market I know a bunch of successful and professional wholesalers who don't pop up in google search.I will be cautious though.

This way, tenants can easily submit maintenance tickets online, and you can reserve the phone number for urgent situations.If your business continues to grow and you find yourself reaching capacity, another option is to hire a cost-efficient, general administrative virtual assistant.

You hired them to manage the place, so trust them. 

No matter which side of the lending transaction you are on, you will want to consult with a local RE attorney and get docs drafted up by a professional to make sure you stay legally compliant and have adequate protections both as borrower and lender. 

:)I would recommend consulting a good attorney and tax professional...
