Any suggestions on managing my property while living 2 hours away?

If this is a class A or B property, than this can typically be managed long distance as long as you have someone in the area as a boots on the group team that can show up to the property when needed. But ensuring you select a tenant that is high quality will be the key to being able to do this. Look for things such as a rental history, how they maintained previous rentals, speak with previous landlords, ect. However, if this is a C class property or below; from my experience it is better to simply get a property manager to handle the property. The work required to manage a C class property is simply above and beyond what is realistic to handle from a distance on top of the inevitable maintenance that is likely to get overlook that will wind up costing more money later.
