Now in terms of the returns, when someone is actively engaged in real estate (eg., as a landlord or a flipper or anything else) their returns over time are higher versus being passive (e.g., through a syndication).

This results in paperwork, processing delays and per-transaction fees that can add up if you are engaging in more time-sensitive assets or assets that involve a lot of transactions.

The complexity arises when you are (A) managing other people's money and/or (B) engaging in larger assets with more moving parts. 

I find it better to engage with investors 1:1 or in small groups.

I made a cash for keys offer to incentivize them to move out, but they are refusing to engage with me.

@Karsten GeibObviously, it's tough to tell how good an agent is before engaging them to represent you.

My question:  Is there a service that I can engage that will automatically deduct funds from his account and deposit to mine. 

and congrats on your engagement! 

I'm 35, engaged, and have a 9 month old baby girl at home. 

I already got a property manager engaged and he advised that I could rent the house for $1,800.
