Long distance management is hard. You should hire it done that far away. Try to make sure they screen the tenants using a service. It is really hard to do evictions and repairs and rent vacant units from miles away. Also get them to visit the property monthly at least to check for trash in the yard, illegally parked cras, and overall conditions. I had a guy in a triplex once that was buying wrecked cars and selling parts from my parking lot. He would just pile up the junk in the back yard. I had another 5 plex where drugs were being sold daily. Things like this need to be caught early to avoid expenses and violations and even property seisure. No fun to deal with especially thousands of miles away.
