I can identify a deal but I am a busy person & don't have time to watch weekly that tasks are being completed.

Fix it with a simple system: pick one clear target for the next 90 days, block two power hours on your calendar weekly for only high‑leverage tasks analyzing deals, making offers, building your team, and hold yourself accountable with a quick weekly review what moved the needle, what didn’t, what’s next.

Start with one property, test your PM with a small task, and schedule a 30‑minute weekly review to track rents, expenses, and next actions.

It would be illegal to start your depreciation over from year zero.Your depreciation schedule is calculated from:The original purchase price Plus capital improvements Minus land value (which isn’t depreciable)That schedule doesn’t change unless your basis changes.Yes, your amortization schedules should change, but I don't see how a refi itself affects your basis.

To find real flippers and build a reliable team, lead with value and tight filters: define your flip box, then post and ask at local meetups, investor FB groups, and supply houses for intros to GCs, agents, and lenders who’ve closed multiple flips this year; run quick interviews, verify with photos, permits, and past HUDs, and start them on a small, time‑boxed task to test communication, updates, and workmanship before giving bigger scopes.

A lot of people I’ve spoken with say the hardest part is trying to manage things from a distance, whether it’s trusting the right crew for renovations, finding tenants who are reliable, or just handling the small day-to-day landlord tasks that pop up when you’re hundreds of miles away.

That's a tall task for any buyer or investor.
