Advice on Becoming a Remote Landlord

[Amy Jones]

I'm going to buy my first property within the next couple of months and I'm curious about how people manage their properties when they are not within a driveable distance of them.

I understand they have property managers but where do you find them?

And how do you ensure that the state of the property, inside and out, is in good condition?

I personally try to automate as much as possible and rely on great/trusted handymen, cleaners, etc. on the ground that can take care of anything that comes up and let me know about the state of the property. That said, there's no doubt it can definitely add stress to be out of state. Best of luck!
