While not necessarily "white collar" citizens, we have had nothing but smooth sailing since they moved in.

And the closing went smoothly.

Whenever you are buying a property out of state you should do a few things to ensure it's as smooth as possible.Don't buy in the roughest neighborhood in the urban core.

How smooth was the transaction at the auction?

Starting out I believe this is all you would need to make things run smoothly.

Let them know you want "a rental that runs so smoothly I forget the name of my property manager" or "a property where I won't have to worry about expenses on a monthly basis and will be happy to pass down to my grandkids".

Very smooth process.

They have property managers on-site who report to them if any problems arise, but they are looking for someone who will actively visit the complexes each month to see if everything is running smoothly - just an extra set of eyes.

SUPER unlikely, but when you smooth it out across 100 flips, the proportion becomes more normal.

To ensure a smooth transition, I make it a requirement for my tenants to schedule services before moving in.
