How to Manage Rental Properties Remotely

1. The "Boots on the Ground"

You need a trusted person locally.

• A handyman.
• A real estate agent (for leasing).
• Or a neighbor you pay to check on things.

2. Digital Everything

• Leases: Electronic signatures.
• Rent: Online payments only.
• Inspections: Ask tenants to do video calls or hire a local inspector annually.

3. Smart Tech

Smart locks allow you to let contractors in from 1,000 miles away. Cameras (exterior only) let you check on snow removal or landscaping.

4. The Rolodex

Build a list of reliable vendors (plumber, electrician, HVAC) who you can trust to do the work without you standing over them.

Conclusion

Remote management requires trust and systems. PropsManager is designed specifically to bridge the gap between you and your property.
