Some people want to develop their own real estate empire, others just want financial independence. 

Part of my services involves space planning.

I can be on the road and halfway to Texas before the masses that can travel make it from Riverside & Temecula to Phoenix and overwhelm the services here. ;-)

A slumlord describes the landlord who doesn't maintain the property up to building code and habitability standards, and who doesn't respond to tenant requests for service and maintenance.The location of the property, amount of rent collected, value of property, or income of the tenant is NOT what defines a slumlord.

My husband had been over there to meet our HVAC guy for servicing the units before summer.  

The main advantage purchasing an existing facility provides is some income while you are stabilizing the property; even if the owner only has 30% occupancy, that's better than starting from scratch with debt service payments.

So you open up a new bank account in CO, and give someone you know in Colorodo ATM authorization to use your debit card and put a prepaid amount on there for them to buy groceries each month as a tip for doing you the service. 

Even if you are in a smaller market there are multifamily brokers that will service your area.My biggest caution to you (agreeing with @Troy Ramey) would be to make sure that you do not have any real estate agent or commercial multifamily broker exclusive to finding deals for you.
