I also live out of state from my properties but coordinate closely with a single on-site maintenance person,  so I am predominately looking for the web/cloud based services that we can both log into and interact with, and not a quickbooks style solution.

German shepherds, imo, are one of the many breeds that NEED to be with the master, or the family, and they need training and interaction.

I would like to set up an interactive/menu phone answering system.

Albeit, your experience with FDIC is a feather in your hat which I can not claim, my regulatory and compliance experience stems from my interaction from hiring folks like you for consultation.

Instead, you can get out and hustle and interact with as many people as possible.

The owner states serveral times that every customer gets to interact with each other in conference calls so I agree with him.

Just about every aspect of it involves interacting with and negotiating with someone.

If you niche your topic down you will get more interactions from serious minded participants.

The idea is to separate the liability of interacting (for example in contracts and Leases) from the liability of owning an asset.

I have a remote manager who handles the client interaction, finances, and scheduling of maintenance/cleaning for my small two bedroom one bath Airbnb in downtown Kennesaw even though I only live a half a mile away.
