Make sure your agent is able to show houses quickly with an electronic system or with has other agents to help show house.

I don't buy extra stuff to fill my house (furniture, electronics, kitchenware, etc.)

However, if there is the possibility to add a bathroom and kitchenette in the basement, you could almost create an entirely separate studio apartment that guests could check-in and check-out of on their own schedule using electronic keypad locks on doors. 

Due to these drawbacks, I have moved to an online management service to collect rent electronically.

You can verify the status of your plan by checking with the Summary Plan Description you received (or can access electronically) for your workplace retirement plan.P.S. - I left the corporate world at 55 in 2016 with a 7 figure 401k and it will be an 8 figure 401k in another few years because of real estate.

Laundry facility usage needs to be covered, as does parking, outside storage, and any shared usage of electronics.

I would do so locally, both because (A) leveraging real human networks (not so much electronic ones) is the best way I know of to get things done in real estate and (B) if you're doing something local, you will learn in a way that you won't be doing something passive remotely. 

We own cabins in the PNW and the only electronics we have is a record player.

My day job is in marketing electronics and management information systems.
