If you have a self directed account and invest pre-tax money into illiquid assets like syndication or mortgage notes they will come in at a value of less than the principal.

You’re right—it’s tough to compare these services directly.

🎉 I know some property management companies have high minimums, but there are definitely options out there, including co-hosting or smaller management firms that might be more flexible.We manage properties in other areas and would be happy to connect to see if we can help or point you in the right direction.

He is handy and would handle most maintenance.What I can't figure out is: 1) how to set up the seller financing w/ the rent component. 2) whether to purchase as investment property or as second home and 3) deal directly with my father thru an real estate attorney and 4) considering his age, whether to set up a balloon payment a few years down the road for his benefit.

Any marketplaces or direct-to-seller strategies that work well?

And it's pretty much impossible to find a passive investment for that (and can only be done directly).

If you need further guidance, DM me, and I’ll point you in the right direction!
