If the property is well maintained and has great tenants, your physical presence is rarely needed!

Getting mathematical on a physical piece of real estate that has too many variables is just a waste of time, with all due respect. 

Do you contract out with someone to physically show the property to prospective tenants?

Owner is responsible to keep everything functional, absent clear misuse/abuse/physical damage.

You have to keep paying the mortgage, of course, but so long as you do, your lender won't care where you physically live.An issues arises, however, if you want to get another owner-occupant loan within 12 months.

Some of these are actual physical items that require going to the property.Owning remotely with a great property manager is fine and rewarding!

Are there no real estate clubs in NH where you can meet and vet real estate professionals face-to-face as well as physically vet and evaluate the property you might actually own?

Physical condition of the property; tenant status; amount owed for tax liens; existence of other liens, judgements or violations, etc.Chances are the property is not livable and/or has tenants in place who are not cooperating.

That is actually something physical of value.
