I think there's a pretty low bar for competency in the management business because it's not glamorous and can be a grind.

If you are skilled in each of the areas above, and you have enough in reserves to cover the costs of when things do not go as planned, then you can likely attract money from private money lenders who want to get a return on their money and they see lending to you as a low risk way of earning a better return than in the other passive investing options they have. 

But, if steady long term cashflow is a goal, with no management, one can always sell farm land on a low down private contract.

If we rent the unit at $1,425, I have an estimated monthly cashflow of $302 (rent at $1450, cashflow is $325) I DO include vacancy, repairs, and cap exp in my Box2 Expenses.

The public good is the saving of wear, tear, and expense on our first responders.

He only wants to answer you if you pay him & his stuff is very expensive. 

At $500/mo per door you would have $175,000 cash flow in a year before operating expenses.

Two of the biggest challenges I face are that I’m not very liquid at the moment, and the Seattle area is extremely expensive.

Be warned - getting a short term rental to market is expensive, stressful, and exhausting.

If you're just starting, focus on free or low-cost resources to build your foundation, and consider mentorship later if you need personalized guidance or want to accelerate your progress.Good luck!
