I think you're on the right track.

Not sure why or how I lost track of BP the last couple of years. 

But if you’re too busy to do that, then a few other options maybe:1) syndication - but you would really want to vet the syndicator and see their track record especially how they’re doing during this downturn.2) Buy turnkey properties that are managed by the turnkey company.

Find a market you like, then look for a really good property manager with a long track record.

I think you are definitely on the right track, but I think your next moves depend on how aggressive you want to be.

It does not happen overnight and having a track record is especially helpful in scaling this.

Had the same issue, sorry but I have no solution.I opened two tickets with them but there's no ticket tracking, and no response whatsoever that they even received the ticket.
