Excellent post/thread.  

As what most have said, Rich Dad Poor Dad was excellent. 

This has been particularly important, given that the average hold time for my investments is 3-7 years.I think Bigger Pockets is excellent as a place to learn about RE investing, especially for those of us who are looking at RE as a means to diversify an investment portfolio, rather than becoming a "hands on" RE developer, flipper, lender ect.

I have my contractor coming with me, and we will be videoing the walk through(s), I just want to be as prepared and as thorough as possible.

Excellent property management is key to successful out of area property investments.

@Alexander Felice had an excellent suggestion.
