Communicating is probably the most important thing. I talk to my team on slack daily and on video chat about every other day.

A private office with a door you can shut is also up there. I actually lease a small office about 1.5 miles from my home. Normally a spare bedroom is sufficient, but we ran out of those in my home.

Keep a normal schedule. It doesn't have to be 9-5, but it needs to have a good amount of overlap with your team.

Have a backup computer and internet connection. (Cellphone tethering qualifies here.)

All that said, there's really no substitute for occasional face time. My company has a lot of remote staff, so we do quarterly gatherings where everyone comes to the same city to work together for a week.
