You could get an investment partner that is local.

If you invest in an area with local officials who think criminals are victims of society, you can't expect much help from the government.

check your local laws as a few people on BP have posted that you can only do evictions for unpaid rent in some areas.

But, as others said the other local IE markets are about double the High Desert values so that could help maintain the high values.  

I'm in Detroit local.

Local courts here wont let me move my paperwork here and im too broke to travel anywhere. .

It is easy to assume, but assumptions are only guesses and often clouded by our view of people.As you are out of state and this is clearly causing you stress, I would suggest talking to a few local property managers to see if they can take over management of the property.Vacancies do cost, though the price someone else quoted is higher than I've ever experienced outside of an eviction where lots of stuff was left behind and the place was not taken care of (both of those were probably $6K once I factored in lost rent).

I then check to see if there are any local laws that limit the number of STR rentals in the municipality.

All monetary accounts had POD or beneficiaries listed (my sister and myself)  We did not want our parents'names to be tarnished by not paying the yearly taxes and their names published in the local paper as not having done so.
