And how do you get into the traveling nurses and travel physical therapist network to fill these home?  

@Elizabeth Seiferth One of the most important things you can do is look at the past social media posts of a CPA you are considering and look at the content as well as the other professionals interacting and replying to what they have to say.If they are adding value with their messages and other professionals are concurring with what they have to say, that can indicate the level of service they will bring to you as their client in most instances.Speaking as a CPA who lives in the Midwest but works with clients nationally, I can definitely say that the physical location of your CPA has minimal bearing over their jurisdictional knowledge.  

I know there is networking but that’s a slow and labor intensive process and requires me to physically fly to the markets I will be sourcing in.I am not too worried about bleeding $600/week on VAs for potentially months while we work out the kinks. 

I don't even use a physical application anymore and the screening company I used previously required that I pay and then I collected a fee from the tenant.

Good property management software handles rent collection, maintenance tickets, and lease signing without you needing to be physically present.

I keep lenders in two buckets fund fast 7 days or less no physical appraisal, and more along trad 30 days typical appraisal.  

But in a Chapter 7, that liability is gone, the borrower is shielded from those future claims.Lastly, regarding short sales, if the homeowner still holds legal title to the property (even if they've emotionally or physically abandoned it), a short sale may still be possible.

In particular, Tuscaloosa—the site of The University of Alabama’s flagship campus—comes to mind here.As a general rule of thumb, you want to go after growing markets with affordable barriers to entry in landlord-friendly states; you’ll have an easier time finding deals that pencil out within your budget.

You’ll want a reliable handyman (or two), a local leasing agent or realtor who can help with showings, and maybe even a lockbox system or smart locks so you’re not relying on someone to physically hand off keys.

Then you have the scheduling challenge of finding a handyman or contractor that is available when the tenant is.Some tenants are nice about this, others will go to extreme lengths NOT to allow access:(They can not cooperate by:- Leaving a minor home alone- Leaving a dog home alone- Threatening to get physical- Threatening to stop paying rent and/or cause damageThis may shock many of you who are used to dealing with only Class A tenants, but it is not uncommon when dealing with Class B tenants and is very common when dealing with Class C tenants.
