for truly passive, without a doubt, syndications or lending/notesthere is, of course, due diligence to be done at the beginning, but after that, it is monitoring and collecting checksI went through this discussion with a friend a year and a half ago, and after a few months of discussion, we were able to come up with this conclusionwell, I came up with it after a few weeks, it took my friend a couple of months to be fully convincedthere are a few syndicators on BP that are highly respected and post a lot, and some people that are also highly respected that can help you with notes/lendingand there are more out there on the internets, but you are of course going to have to vet them furthergood luck on your journeyalohasteve

The big thing you're missing is infrastructure.

Honestly I'd rather have it fixed up front so I know it's been done well - HUD houses are often uncared for even when they were owned (think about it - if you're about to foreclose, do you have the money to upkeep infrastructure?).  

When it's dry, turn off the dehumidifier and monitor for strange stink.

Plus our contractor told us having some of the home infrastructure there would save a little money (septic, driveway, electric).

These are wifi so you can monitor temp setting, actual temp and humidity.

I also use the Schlage Camelot door locks, and a small iHome device that monitors temp/humidity/lumens and sound in the house. 

No provider of wire or electronic communication service shall utilize service observing or random monitoring except for mechanical or service quality control checks; b.

You can split the screen on PC’s, just google it, same copy/paste of pics.I have always used an additional monitor, two independent screens....the only way I can really work.
