Due to the nature of my work, I'm considered a contract employee this makes it difficult to get approvals.

He said he lives off his stock investment portfolio and has a small computer business with two employees.

Title company is quick to blame everyone elseS they say the issues are with the state (no one working, all new employee etc) - they say they spent a lot of time “trying.”

Outsourcing to a PM sounds like the path of lease resistance, but not without its own challenges.PROS of Outsourcing:Hands-off managementDon't have to worry about things like having to manage local staff (1 PM and 1 maintenance person) or possible employee turnover, which could create short to mid-term challenges to manage if we were living in another state and had to handle until a replacement was foundAbility to focus on growth and acquisitions and not daily managementAbility to be almost a fully "digital" operation rather than a "brick and mortar" management--although that sounds odd as real estate is very tangible and one of the reasons we initially focused on this assetCONS of Outsourcing:Afraid PM company won't be as cost-conscious with managing expenses and especially repair/maintenance costsOverall concern with PM keeping up on the condition and quality of buildings as they are nowGeneral concern that maintenance, including preventative maintenance items, will be not kept up as we do nowObviously the cost incurred to the PM company and mark-up to have them manage maintenance/repairs they generally chargeOur largest concerns mainly come down to how overall property maintenance, repairs, and larger capital expenses will be managed (i.e. what if there is a large flood on the 3rd floor apartment that floods down to the 1st floor, will a PM company be able to successfully remediate that in as least of time as possible and for the lowest cost?)

I'm optimistic that more companies will adopt remote work permanently and allow employees to live in areas other than primary markets.

We have employees that do walk throughs for us, basic maintenance checks, drive bys, move in/out inspections- many of them are aspiring investors and we guide them through the entire process as part of their job. 

My maintenance guy can make a trip during the day to do the normal work orders and such.Anyone have any success putting out an ad in the newspaper or whatever for an on-call property manager privately as a 1099 employee?
