Her mom moved to assisted living last year and has left her house empty.

Thank you all in advance for having and assisting me.Aris

I'm looking for some assistance in determining what to offer the seller when you don't physically visit the property. 

If you have a steady income there are down payment assistance loans where you can get into a duplex for as little at $1000 if you qualify.

@Fitzroy Harvey @Marc Brenner I don't know if your plans have changed, however, I'd be delighted to meet you guys and see how we can assist each other on this journey. 

This could be an easier and cheaper solution than hiring someone full time.If you are just looking for someone to answer the phone and contact your list of contractors, I'd suggest looking into the "virtual assistants" that are featured heavily on Bigger Pockets podcasts as this seems to be a very cost effective way to manage the day to day without putting in much money. 

Also you can have the seller pay closing cost credits, up to 6% on FHA (talk to a lender), which could assist with cash reserves. 

There are also tons of attorneys here in bigger pockets that can assist you.

I have worked as on office manager to a general contractor many years ago, I worked as a project managers assistant at the same company, which led me to go to school and earn a project managers certification.

While it's not geared to take care of your capital expenditures, it's geared to assist in tenant repairs.
