Desirables: 8 min walk to trains to NYC and 2 parking spaces.I feel the property was not built well and future leaks are inevitable. 

Hire thoughtfully and let them go if they don't work out as well.Bonus: Train your VA how to use AI to help with research work and they should really learn from you how you want your research performed.

I own multiple properties over 2000 miles from my primary residence, but it's not as easy as strangers on the internet make it seem.

Consider utilities, internet, landscaping, and other expenses.

The internet has a way of highlighting all the scams out there, but fail to mention the ones that are doing good work.I lack the charisma, but I do have a soul and a successful community.

@Minh Vuif you have to ask random people on the Internet... pass

They don't have a team of people that scrub the internet trying to discourage it.

I would not trust random people on the internet  LOLmy guess though is you do.. their might be a few states were you don't need a license but not many if any is my thought on it.  

Especially if the building is less than a 15 minute walk to the train.

Once the foreclosure process has started, you can only get the train back on the tracks if you can pay off their loan and liens, which someone probably would have done earlier on a short sale if the upset value wasn't too high.
