Numerous times I have been able to think through an issues that arose on a construction site and saved the Owner by proposing an alternate route to resolve it. 

You will probably run into some issues and need to budget for that.You budgeted 5k for unforeseen expenses on a 4000sft home.

Managing a property hours away can be challenging if any issues arise, but having a third-party property management company could help handle those situations and make things more manageable.I think you are in the right place to gain some insight on what would make you successful. 

One of the big issues is that the new PM reached out to the tenants with notice of management change, but without confirmation from the current PM they didn't trust that the new guy was legitimate.

There is no issue doing it in your personal name. 

The issue I see is smart contracts/tokenized real estate and traditional real estate investors is like oil and water.

I have no issue with the rust belt cities.

The biggest issue with Stessa is that it sounded like they had very low transfer maximums(making it difficult to pay people) but it looks like they've improved a little bit on that.

Luckily I did have a clause where the sober living company is paying all repairs and maintenance unless it is structural issues.
