I would tell her to deal with the post office and then end communication

But will definitely keep the list in my back pocketAny and all Insight would be greatly apricated, thank you all so much!!! 

Would you suggest just purchasing and then stepping back to let the developer handle everything else?

Yeah that make zero sense…Imagine a paid off $400k property with $500 in back taxes.

I have heard of landlords having success marketing to traveling nurses and to State Department staff returning from posts abroad (I believe they receive a generous stipend for housing as they transition back to the U.S.).

At about the month and a half mark I get paid in full including any back rent.

you should focus on getting a real estate CPA.As for the bookkeeping - make sure you have someone that focuses on real estate so at least that person can allocate the differences and not make a total mess for the CPA at year-end.

For whatever reason, these remotes seem to always end up with a broken battery cover.  

For risker applicants, require a guarantor (who is not "judgment proof") to agree to pay for damages and unpaid rent.Unfortunately, you cannot eliminate all risks of loss, so there are times that a tenant may end up causing damage beyond the security or coverage you have to pay for damage, but the above items will help.

Either they come back and just aren't interested yet, or maybe they come back super motivated.I've seen it go both ways.
