For owners it would be that they think of you as their own personal assistant and not as a professional and they monday morning quarterback every little thing that goes on in your property. 

Of course, this makes me unhappy.

Open to anyone willing to make the trip of course, but likely folks from the Kanto area - Yokohama, Chiba, Saitama, Kanagawa, Ibaraki, etc?

Now, the Mgt LLC can lease out the property.You just need to make sure whether your Mgt LLC needs license, and be sure to get it insurance since its operating as a business.Consult a qualified professional...

Of course we love our income tax break in Washington and lean towards remaining in our primary residency to benefit from it but the constant driving back and forth is challenging.

My wife is a real estate professional (we can deduct real estate depreciation) so a property with significant bonus depreciation would be ideal. 

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Other than deductibles, and of course insurance rate increases, was best possible outcome.
