I've built a system where I can drag/drop any bill into a Google Drive folder, and I have some systems set up to split the bill evenly among tenants, automatically bill my tenants, and even send them an email with the breakdown. 

Quote from @Cecil Miller: Where can I find an engineer to stop my plans for 14 x 24 pavilion I built plenty is for years but now that I want to build on my own they want me to have them stampedLook for a local Engineer by googling ["city/county location" structural engineer].

I've been bookkeeping with a google drive spreadsheet. 

What are key questions to ask to aid in the vetting process?

The macroeconomics looks great - growing population, more jobs, and major companies investing and developing here like Intel, Google, Meta, Honda, etc.

There is positive population growth, tech and manufacturing (Tesla, Google, Apple) moving to the area, and low property taxes.

Yes Lisa you can refinance out depending on what your situation is:- Full Doc conventional loans will require Income, assets/value of the property, and credit to qualify to refinance out- DSCR loans only require market rental income and credit + enough assets for monthly payment reserves 3-6 months (no personal income or other liabilities are factored in, just the property in question)- Refinancing into another private loan - this is only a bandaid temporarily to provide aide but will not be a permanent solution since most private loans term up or are due in 6-12 months after funding @Matthew Kwan@Carlos Valencia

But if the manager is at least good enough that they care about their long-term reputation (and also trying to get you to be an investor in future deals)...then this might help.If they are a bad one (or a good one and unable to change), then this is unlikely to make any difference.Remotely you can also do things like doing Google maps drive-bys, etc.

You can also find real estate investing groups through meetup.com, Facebook, or a Google search.

Here is what I would suggest to see if someone is good - Google their name and see what people say about them knowing that as a teacher/coach you can't please everyone.
