That's not really a full story so it's hard to say, but generally, if you don't feel secure or confident in the person you hired, you shouldn't have hired them.

The vast majority of lawsuits against landlords involve wrongful eviction, security deposit disputes, and Fair Housing Violations.

The key is to secure financing options before finding a property, ensuring you have enough funds to move quickly when a great deal arises. 

I have seen some realtors who have used marketing targeted to 1031 investors as part of their regular outreach. 

Breezeway allows us to easily organize all photos by room and generate a downloadable document for reference.Once a tenant moves out, we follow the same process to document the property's condition and determine if any amount needs to be withheld from the security deposit.Additionally, we require new tenants to complete and return a move-in inspection document within 3 days of moving in.

Flipping is probably a little more intense, but can still be done with a day job, but again, my average flip versus my average rental: flip has made much better returns.And as for generational wealth and handing down something to your kids... well, I guess I view it as: if I can hand my kids a $10mm trust fund held in public securities, or $10mm real estate portfolio, they are going to be pretty set either way, but a real estate portfolio will continually have costs and work, a brokerage account is a bit more set and forget, with some periodic rebalancing.

Be aware of state usury laws and consider collateralizing the loan for security.

While I'm not entirely discouraged, I feel like I've invested significant resources (LLC, website, domain) without securing a deal that generates cash flow.Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated. 

What’s the best way to secure a deal, and not encounter with another wholesaler going after the same property.

Even if it takes longer to pay off, having a steady, reliable tenant might actually be less stressful than managing an STR.FYI - consider starting with a regular rental but structuring it as a 6-12 month lease.
