I personally don’t see LP syndication investors as Real Estate investors.  

Have met him personally a couple times and he is just a great guy all around. 

For instance, said property manager manages maintenance issues, problems that arise during bookings, basically anything that needs a physical person at the property, while I manage the rest?

The vast majority of contractors won't want to give bids on properties while under contract unless they have a relationship with that person from prior jobs.

I warn people over and over and over to know what they are buying and to go personally see what they are buying. 

they're not magic.are you going to in-person / informal meetups? 

I'm still in the process of finding an alternative solution but I thought I'd leave this here as a warning for others looking to make a decision.For reference, I'll just post their email response to me here:As we review your inquiry, we would like to remind you of the following key points from our Terms of Use:In no instance shall ShinePay be liable for any of the following:"Lost revenue from service interruptions.Lost revenue stemming from delays, malfunctions of any product.unauthorized gains access to your account or due to shared passwords or if your password is hacked.Destruction to properly, places, or personal injury resulting from the installation, misinstalling, or misuse of any product.Lost revenue from entering the wrong account number for ACH or other bank transfer or money transfers or due to any delay in receiving funds.Damage to your structure, machines or car resulting from use or installation of our products.Any funds collected that are paid to a person that does not own the property.Any harm from defeating the lock and technology that controls the lock to a device.Failure to properly service any product or machine."

I also have personal W2 income, if that matters.Is there a loan out there for a set-up like this at 15% down? 

Many clients will find it hard to trust a younger person with this big of a decision. 

My personal goal is to build a rental protfolio, but I'm open to anything.Thanks in advance.
