I am remote (living in Reno, NV) and will be handling all accounting/finances. 

Most of us Don't live here or have property here.You would likely have better luck with a local FB group or thumbtac.cim

We live in San Francisco, CA and we both work in the trades and have a couple of connections with trades people in Shasta. 

The contractor has to live in the Bay Area, so their cost of living is just as high as the client's.I was daydreaming about dropshipping contractors into CA.

Both are valid strategies – just pick the one that aligns best with your financial goals and comfort level.Happy investing!

I live in the Portland, Maine area and am currently launching my real estate wholesaling business as a short term strategy in order to build knowledge, capital, and a network so that I can eventually start investing in my own projects such as fix and flips, and both short and long term rentals.

Smart thermostats can ensure a comfortable temperature upon arrival.

@Katelyn Nelsoncan you start with a house hack or live in flip?

I am a new(ish) investor living and operating out of England right now.

We would follow abandonment processes for getting possession back and storing belongings.But we are less likely to encounter this because we have this clause in our rental agreement:In the event of abandonment, arrest or death, the following person has the authority to decide when to terminate tenancy and how to store/distribute my belongings:Name: ____________________________________________________Address: ____________________________________________________Phone #: ____________________________________________________If we have an applicant who will be living alone we include this wording.
