My dad manages mobile homes that are over 2 hours away each way and travels to the properties once every several years.

For a retired person that might work out really well as it will be money they can use and travel wherever they please while the house is taken care of.

all good ideas. digging around the house and installing drain tiles would also be a good idea. run the drain tiles to a drain system a good distance from the house so the water travels thru the drain tiles and into the catch basin and away from the house. the key here is to get the water away from the house. you cannot stop water, but you can redirect it. these ideas are expensive, yes, and should be factored into the overall costs associated with the house. if the numbers don't crunch right, run the other way

One area you will likely be able to reduce costs is with utilities - so check the attic insulation depth, if it's skimpy then blow in another 8 inches or so and rest assured you will cut the usage rates significantly.If you want more details or info/pointers get my number off my profile and call or text.Best of luck to ya Taylor!!

I travel to US on business visas whenever i have to for my business.

Heck I've done it for months twice (traveled the states and world).

And I take pride when I travel to their towns and drive by all their rentals.. its a win win.

I am currently traveling long term out of the country and would to get a feel of how much work I can do abroad vs needing to be live and in-person.Thanks in advance to all the experienced RE investors out there who will take the time to read and reply, it is very much appreciated.

I live in Oakley but will travel some for a good tax preparer!

My wife and I are also getting back into the swing of things after traveling for the past 5 years.
