Hi Amy,I suggest you get the book "Long Distance Real Estate Investing" by @David Green to educate yourself better and gain confidence in this particular type of investing.I hope that helps!

Would someone in the home not take proper precautions (mask and distance)?

Pride of ownership seems to be much more common as well as everyone knows everyone in small communities and you don't want to be known as a slob or have an eviction as everyone will know and won't rent to you.I've read David Greene's Long Distance Real Estate and I highly recommend it whether or not you plan on investing long distance but I'm personally stuck between where I should go with my career.

Located in the North End in a very family-friendly neighborhood and walking distance to Southern New Hampshire University, it has  a pool of good tenants needing housing.

I am in SC so I would be a long distance (semi-distance) partner

I am mostly looking for something that is within walking distance to a beach, but not in a sketchy location.  

We aren't afraid to invest long-distance thanks to David Greene's book, but we are struggling on what market to start with.

I know many people don’t like rent to own or work for equity but honest with the increase in jobs I’ve found it’s helped people find a home with a not so bad commute t o their respective office.

Z Wave a distance of 100 feet give or take but having each device acting as a repeater really helps the distance.WiFi is just as reliable so I don't think you give up anything with it in regards to uptime.

@Bennet SebastianOur strategy involves hosting RE conventions, normally within driving distance of the property with medical professionals,medical retail, etc. months before we plan to open the complex.
