Renting, like hiring an employee, taking on a business partner or client and marring (even more so), are relationships that can be costly if made hastily or imprudently.Like others, I have check lists that I do not deviate from. 

However, we’re partnered with them, so if you use TurboTenant for property management, you can easily integrate their services with ours. 

This would obviously require you partnering with an investor that you trust. 

I was looking for partners in my network who wanted to JV on this property, but they wanted to know for certain that the title was clear since it was through a wholesaler and not "traditionally" through a realtor.   

Purchase price: $145,000 I am the managing and credit partner on this investment.

You could also bring on a business partner that specializes in sales/marketing to lead that side of the business

Partner Driven identified the Bayport Dr property through our extensive network and partnerships.

Starting out, I would try to take equity from your primary/another property using a HELOC, borrower against a 401k/retirement account, or partner with someone that has cash. 

Morris knew early on that he had a horrific ground partner.. 

You will need to find partners, you will need to travel to where you wish to invest, you will need to understand the ins and outs of the business by being actively involved and treating it like a business and not some super passive investment.If you don't want to do that work I suggest you just put that 200k into some sort of diversified mutual fund that can make you 10+% on your money without any of the work of real estate.At the end of the day this is just my advice and I'm only a stranger on the internet.
