Are there any devices that I can control from a few hundred miles away from my rentals?

My city also has 2 Transit Oriented Development sites (where the passenger train will stop), which is where the majority of the 3 and 4 story apartments are being built (within say3/4 -1 mile away.)  

Hey guys,I am needing some advice on how to purchase a property from seller that has completed the rehab work but completed half way. 

Would you go to a bank and borrow a half a million dollars to go be a card counter? 

I found a house on Zillow located in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, about twenty miles outside of the more heavily populated I49 Corridor of Northwest Arkansas.

So I want to sell And.use my half of the proceeds to buy a home for myself and give the half to the other person.

Assume half goes to expenses and half goes to mortgage paydown and profit.

I am also curious why you are looking to manage the property yourself just for the second half of the year and THEN hand it off?  

Economics is still half art and half science at this point.I was just in a similar situation with a condo I owned, basically lost money with maintenance costs but had been appreciating like crazy.Sold it and did a 1031 and it covered most of the 25% down payment on a 4 Plex that should cash flow very well after the renovation.I view this a good on all fronts, just plain business sense and if inflation does happen I have way more exposure for it to be an advantage for me by having 4 units with rents that can go up and a larger asset that can appreciate.

You are only allowed to expense realistic business expenses for the half of the duplex you are not living in.
