I would also ask your property manager if they are also an investor and how often they physically go to the property.

... see comment above on PMs ... it is their incompetence and thievery that caused most of my problems.Properties and your team are difficult to physically access ... plane rides and hotels are time consuming and expensive.

Its been a lot of physical work so far but I love physical work being raised a farm kid.

Even at $1,000/month, your putting yourself at risk, physically, as well as financially.  

It makes you seem more professional and gives them a physical tool that they can use to contact you again if they need your services.Good luck!

The first few deals are frds and family and then the job gets easier (or more accurately requires less physical time outside your work) unless you're a buyer's agent most of the time then you're out of luck that is def full time.  

NJ has the most number of agents of any State in the US, and we aren't even that big, physically. 

They're ALL on the lease for the entire time even if one of them physically moves out.

Currently, my approach involves physically driving around to spot potential flips, searching through tax records to obtain contact information, and reaching out via phone calls and mail.

My lease states if they pay in cash, or I have to physically collect the rent, then it is a $25 "convenience fee".
