Our properties each have a different rent amount to make it easy to check on the 1st (eg property 1 $1595, Property 2 $1600).Inspecting the property - I let the tenants know there is an inspection schedule to check the smoke and CO2 alarms, plumbing not leaking, mechanicals look good, etc.

Deduct everything travel, entertainment, supplies, postage, office , ect. 

Dose anyone need professional quality photos and video tours of your property great deals available I’m located in the Kansas City MO area, I am able to travel.

I'd be happy to travel to out a little further if it means to be able to network with other investors local to the area.

I recently did a walk through (April 2019) on the property and the second I walked in I noticed smoke in the home, and a cigarette butt in the garage area (that I took a photo of).

Traveling long distances is expensive and long stays are common, especially with parents. 

I'm going to be traveling for work for about a month in each city.

If it is an international traveler, the bank fees on VRBO are substantially more than the service fee charged by Airbnb and this is on top of the annual membership fee that VRBO charges!

Most people on travel just want to be left alone by the host unless there's a problem or a request.

It was not easy, I travel every month to monitor my business and have my local team composed of 30+ people, among handyman, realtors, CPA, inspection company, etc.
