Last thing to look at (and right out of the pages of our client's own experiences) might be starting a transition of wealth in the form of using 1031 strategically to purchase property that your heirs live in until you pass and they inherit. 

I would also join your local Facebook pages for investors. 

The seller is out of state and even visited the project a few times to check on the progress which I think helped him feel good about the whole deal as well. technology made the whole process a lot easier in the interim.

We have a 14-page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.

(Unfortunately, the investor fell for this gimmick and did NOT get their own 3rd party inspections, appraisals or even visit the properties they were buying, against our best efforts to encourage proper due diligence and follow our check list for their own protection.)So now some people are stuck with properties worth half what they paid (not all RWN members), with no renovation done, and constant repairs and vacancies. 

From visiting properties?

It’s that simple.If you want success, you need a strong web presence—a place where the right audience can find you when they need your services.Think about it.

A link to FilePlace is at the bottom of every page, making it easy to find.If you have technical issues, email [email protected], and someone will help you.

Should the Owner require the Manager to make unscheduled visits to the property(insurance proposes) above and beyond the duties outlined in this Agreement, a fee of $75 +GST will be charged per visit.Thoughts??

Look on Facebook as well for local investment pages, you will find a lot of local investors that you can meet with.
