Eric your simply incorrect in your assessment of the home buying public.. now pre 08 virtually every contract i saw to buy one of our homes was minimum down etc etc.. last 10 years virtually every contract is 20% down or more and or as noted CASH...

I assess that whether full or part time to be successful one has to invest in systems to manage the business when you're not or unavailable.

Fractional investing and marketplaces are really really tough.

Meetup.com is a good resource for those but some of the groups will also post here on Bigger Pockets Marketplace too.
