Book recommendation #1: Hands Off Investor by @Brian Burke https://store.biggerpockets.com/products/the-hands-off-inves...Book recommendation #2: Lend to Live https://store.biggerpockets.com/products/lend-to-livePodcast Recommendation: PassivePockets podcast is focused on passive investing in syndications - https://passivepockets.com/podcast/Passive investing summit: PassivePockets Summit May 2-3rd in Columbus https://get.biggerpockets.com/passivepocketsevent/I make these recommendations specifically since you mentioned passive real estate investing, and syndications or hard money lending are really the two most passive ways to invest in real estate. 

In fact, come to the USA and live off of those of us who pay taxes.  

Hi BP community, My tenant, who lives in a two-story, newer construction SFH complained of a water leakage in the bottom floor kitchen ceiling (through the LED lights).

Can you buy a duplex in Arkansas and live in one side just to get your feet wet and make sure you like the area?

Sometimes people don't want to live next to people that have a bunch of garbage in their front yard, that are loud and obnoxious, that are creepy and weird, or maybe who knows maybe the house next-door or on the same block had a murder or a shooting happen at it and it is a well-known thing that people can look up. regardless, I think that due diligence goes into affect here pretty well.

Quote from @Nilusha Jayasinghe: Hey all, I'm a smalltime investor currently living in a flat of a Chicago 2-flat while renting the other out, and also have a SFH rental in OH. 

This residence features 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, encompassing approximately 1,700 square feet of living space.

I live in the Metro Atlanta area (near Gwinnett, Walton, and Rockdale counties) and am open to opportunities in other areas as well.I’m just starting my real estate investing journey with a focus on wholesaling.

It's actually harder if you are currently living in the property, want to cash out, and then have it as a rental as you haven't proven to the bank that the property will cash flow $600 a month on top of the NEW mortgage costs. 1.

Is this a LT residential interest or more like a shared sober house living situation?
