Hi D.T.,To what extent have you guys renovated remotely before? As in, coordinated / managed from a different town or state? With or without the aid of a property manager?
Any good or bad experiences to share?

Regionals - they see you coming a mile away and it's hard to find someone who will do an honest days work, quotes can be laughable
They don't like investors much either so if it's regional make sure you can be there. At like a local and all of a sudden people will do anything for you
Thanks for the input guys (and girl)
Bought a 1945 home in a very trendy / beachside suburb of a state capital. Hoping to render exterior, landscape front and rear, paint/floors/fittings throughout, new kitchen. Bathroom looks ok i think.

Have done a number of distant ones, both over the phone and in person. All cosmetics, nothing structural. The difference? Speed.
In person (with 18 hr days plus a team of trades around me) I can do a house over in a week or max 2. My last interstate phone reno took 8 weeks coz the trades had no urgency, put my jobs at bottom of the list.
Can also save on some things by doing yourself but I am getting less and less interested in swinging hammers and painting over time, so for me now it will come down to whether I have a sense of urgency or not.
