Find the best property manager you can and let him or her do their job. We have out of state property and we never even think about it - the manager takes care of almost everything and the checks come in like clockwork. They do check with us on major repairs and they do send us notification if someone is moving in or out.
They are usually far better able to find and manage good tenants than you are.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
