Yes @linda d      I was able to to rent out two others units over the weekend using the same technique you mentioned above so the wheels are slowly moving again!  

Put some headphones on, or chase the pretty girls around, or do anything you need to; to keep your interest. 

If things go bad its can be much harder than a house hack to show up to to see what is going on and work to fix it.I recommend David Greene's book Long Distance Real Estate Investing. 

As investors age and wealth grows many tend to to move into more passive assets such as notes, commercial properties, and JV deals.Once someone achieves a bunch of money they realize money is not the biggest treasure but time and health to do the things that make you happy in life.These days I would rather take a headache free 15% return than a hard 22% owning a property in a tough area. 4 to 5 years ago you could get houses in A to B areas for 50,000 in some states and drop 10k in and have a 60,000 property for 900 rent.
