I personally think they are super easy to invest in remotely with a good cleaner / repair person, and a little bit of technology but I did do a couple of long term rentals locally. 

It was Samuel Langhorne Clemens AKA Mark Twain said it best, "There are 3 types of Lies: Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics.There are so many groups trying to get recognition with all kinds of polls.

Residents of this segment are physically active and up on the latest technology.

Clearly he is now the one intimidated which suits me fine seeing he is a lying Two Bit Lawyer.   

What is your go to resource / technology for looking up phone numbers for landowners?

During inspection the seller LIED and said the tenants were unavailable to show the unit but it was "identical to the 3rd floor", so I did not see the condition until later on.

Depending on the real estate you own, you may want to also look into 5G leases for WiFi, cell towers, radio and other technology applications on your property's rooftop.

It is a long term hold move and then its an issue of by the time it pays the technology may need to be updated.

Some landlords lie and tell you tenants are great, just to get trouble tenants out of the property.

Also ego.So no matter what the market is doing; what type of property you're pursuing; and where you are located, whatever reasons people cite to pursue or not pursue a property are arbitrary - because candidly, we all lie to ourselves a little bit as to what motivates us to do this and not that, and if you think you don't, you're also lying.
