Make the tax deductible trip once or twice a year to visit and inspect the property and keep things running smoothly.  

@Dave Foster I used to make the trip between Abilene and Amarillo a few times a month.  

Up to this point we typically have two or three contractors on site at the same time, but for the drywall it is better to clear out the entire house and allow those guys to take care of the new drywall as well as any repairs and patches in kitchen and bathrooms without tripping over other guys and their tools.One thing we always do is blow additional insulation into the attic.

@Vincent Park when are you planning a trip to Memphis?

They drug their feet on me for like 5 weeks on a 5 plex I had ready to rent they came back at me with small  stuff like a exterior door was 3/4 above  flush "tripping hazard"   no light on  a small hall way, etc...

These are users who can access SBA funding (as was pointed out by @Joel Owens) and whose clients are making a designated trip - not impulse purchase - to utilize their services.

Yes But let me qualify that a little ;)There are deals out there, but you're definitely not gonna be tripping over them these days. 

When is your next planned trip out here? 

But, I haven't made a trip up specifically to look at the market and I have not spoken with a realtor. 

I am planning a trip out to California and for days I10 was flooded out.
