The other 2 haven't received the attention we'd hope for since the market has cooled off. 

Not crazy bad, but none the less, all units need attention.  

I thought I joined at the highest level, thinking that would get me more access and attention, but later found out there is an insider group that they tell you about once you join that of course costs more money. 

If you've lived in the market you invest and pay any sort of attention you should know too ... if you are investing in a market you are not very familiar with, you should not be doing that in the first place IMO.

At least the neighbor is calling you instead of the cops or the city inspector.I'd pay closer attention to the tenants and give the neighbor a wave, and thank him for letting you know.

I would certainly pay attention to the performance of these loans and the companies that underwrite them. 

The IRS knows your formation date, and if you don;t file, there's a good chance you'll get a friendly letter from the IRS saying "Sorry but we don;t seem to have  a tax return on file", so we file a zero return @ year end to avoid unwanted IRS attention.

Are there different things to pay attention to?

Guess because my Bengals aren't gonna be in it I wasn't paying attention ;)Being an OOS investor I'm looking for the least work possible, and long term rentals probably gives me that, but I will definitely keep that in mind.

After you have assessed yourself as an investor and city(ies) that make sense for you, then you turn your attention to a team that can help you be successful.
