As an investor, as you are trying to grow and share, and in my experience, the bad form that occurs so routinely on forum sites just doesn't exist when you meet other investors face to face.  

I am talking about low rise buildings up to 4 stories in B to C neighborhoods not fancy high rises near lake, etc. 

Investors don't want to purchase a "fancy" hotel room so it would pretty much be a purchase you make and don't resell. 

@Charlie Palmer , Companies with systems in place to routinely collect judgments are rare.  

Not only do most investors spend too much time sitting behind a computer polishing off their fancy excel spreadsheets, they rarely walk properties.

Like Michael said, I would use a cleaner once a month to clean or biweekly, restock the common area items (like TP, dish soap, etc), and sign up for routine lawn and snow services.

The only thing I can think of that may be harder to deal with if I am not local is routine maintenance issues, but I was thinking I can just ask around for some handy man referrals to have at the ready in case those smaller issues arise, while I would instruct our future tenants to contact our service provider for any emergency issues. 

Even if you fancy yourself as more of an investor than an agent the ability to earn income as an agent is second to none.

A lot of motivational gurus will tell you to dream big, commit and go all it - buy that fancy car now so you set that bar high and force yourself to achieve it.

Flipping strikes my fancy, I have skills for it.
