— Laura My wife and I have 6 units in a Southern city about 1/5th the size of Memphis, and we have hosted successfully several times insurance relocation claims over the last 4 years.However, these claims are sporadic, and they can't be relied upon as the bread and butter for a unit, especially a singleton.

I am looking to relocate to a state that is idea for my loan situation 

I had a guest book 4 months in advance and it is now rented to a relocation family. 

I do a lot of relocation clients and that helps me buy/sell in markets that I'm not always in and out of often.

Yes, this is a most common practice.

Quote from @Ace Adefemiwa: I build voice AI for healthcare, but a broker friend convinced me her missed-calls problem was identical to what medical practices face.So my company built a voice AI agent that handles after-hours property inquiries, books showings, and only texts her the serious buyers.

Starting our Real Estate Rental journey...Wife and I are moving across state due to a job re-location...we want to keep our primary residence while we rent an apartment. 

What's the typical best practice here?

Any systems, tools, or best practices you use?

As I save money I have time to learn, and practice analyzing deals, and growing my network.
