This article isn't exactly about that, but has the same points about why I say that-https://www.biggerpockets.com/...

For example, this article mentions that such factors as demand, rental rate, and HPI are the main factors for RE investors.

We've had the stimulus we have had PPP loans EIDL loans, our phones have been ringing off the hook with questions about it people who aren't our clients are asking for help so chances are if they were cold or distant all they might just be a little stressed out.As for the due date I can tell you my firm we default our due date to the latest the IRS allows us to pay this is simply because most clients do not want to pay prior and setting up and auto debit allows them to keep the money in their bank longer.This year we've noticed several returns get hung up in the IRS system and just saying processing I have one that we filed on February 15th that is still saying processing and we can't get a hold of anybody to find out what's going on.You are making an assumption that the assistant dealt with everything they may deal with communications for the accountant so that way they can work on physical work on tax returns.

From the article:"In addition to the requirement that rentals be spaced out by a minimum of 24 hours, Lehane said hosts will have the option of an online feature that automatically prevents bookings less than 72 hours apart for an extra measure of safety.

But I recommend you read this article I wrote for Bigger Pockets titled How to Invest in Real Estate Before Turning 21.

I'm somewhat new to real estate investing myself in the sense that i have not yet done my first deal but because of all the knowledge i have gained from BP, blogs, podcasts and articles I know a lot more than I expected myself to know at this point.I had similar questions like the ones you listed because although i've lived on land the whole time, i never had the need to ask for the cost of lawn care, flood insurance, garbage removal etc.I learned that the water, sewage and garbage bill in my area was packaged together and i learned that here on Bigger Pockets, from the comfort of my computer.Of course, you'd be encouraged to get out and start looking at homes in person but Bigger Pockets definitely helps you get setup for all you want to accomplish in Real Estate!

Hi Bret,As an agent I can tell you that there is not much you can do as far as physically going to the property.

An interesting article in the WSJ on the disaster that is befalling Airbnb hosts, both owners and sub-leasee's.
