I have an extended family member that at his peak time owned about 90 homes in NE Ohio. He lived there his entire life, knew everyone and knew their parents too.

A distant landlord from California will get eaten alive, with the help of the local government. You need to move mountains to get things done when you live in a neighboring town, let alone a coastal state.
