Quote from @Michael Patton: I have a solution for that.

The previous owners did a do-it-yourself remodel which had tons of red flags if I had taken the time to cross-reference the sellers disclosure with the inspection report, but at that time the market was hot and I had to move fast.

Everything else is a level of passivity vs. how much management and oversight you want.I will still have more active investments as well, but I think it's silly when passive income is referred to as part of say, multifamily.

Thank you for this very clear solution, Derek.  

Also for reference, pretty typical SFH flip type properties in my market are about $300k - $400k price tag.  

I think you are referring to the deed.

At least an LTR tenant needs a place to live and a good reference. 

I have it currently on Furnished Finders, Turbo tenant, and ale Solutions. 

To recap: Be extremely cautious with flat fee MLS sites that only refer business to other agents.Bonus PointsYou should also consider the ease of use of the flat fee MLS listing provider, for example, can you complete everything online?

You don't want to invest in a place you have never been to unless you are using a vertically integrated turnkey provider that others can give you references for.
