If so, how do you currently handle maintenance issues?

I guess if you are one of those speed typing types then you could handle 5 conversations at once.  

I know a rehab will be hard to handle from a distance, my max distance will be up to 2 hours, but i want to get in a property already but want to be some what sure of the area. thanks guys for all your responses ahead of time. 

And can you/do you want to handle the management if things start to fall apart?
