I was in the sierras getting communication via a satellite communicator.  

I just took a Satellite view and added text and arrows to it.

I've been advised by my CPA that this may be risky because how much can you really pay your kid to clean their room, put away the dishes, etc? 

Investor's are definitely able to invest in a property in today's world, with video calls, easy picture sharing and satellites, but it is best to have someone trusted to send the info and look at the property in person.I have invested both in my area and OOS and getting someone you trust, who can help through the process, is the most important part of either.  

This included changing cleaners, changing plumbers, changing HVAC companies, tinting windows so they don't look as dirty and need windows cleaners, changing internet providers, changing from satellite TV to DirecTV stream, remove/change items requiring high maintenance like skeeball along with a dozen other things. 

Clean is defined as: all surfaces (walls, floors, counters, fixtures, appliances) free from dirt, grime, excessive dirty dishes/laundry, and grease.

The food is very similar Italian dishes, Italy is just fresher.  

Furnishing always costs more than my clients think.If I am going to wash my own dishes on vacation, my lodging better be better than a hotel, haha.

Like others have said, I go cheaper on dishes etc. since those things break easily and need many replacements.  

Others, it's investing self to go to the depressed satellite market, doing some BRRR and with that create better margin and thus CF results.
