You can set up an online account to monitor the bills and tenants payment activity.

I'll be ramping up my lending activities in the years to come.There's no shortage of demand when it comes to financing so I'm not sure why lenders offer these high LTV products either.

That is the exact thing I'm trying to avoid.I don't want to be dependent on making money via active income for that long of a time, I want PASSIVE income.

I have been doing my own taxes and have a large amount of Passive Activity Losses from my rentals, don't want to mention the specific number but it's a lot in the thousands.

Jim,Are you thinking of buying an active STR?

The STR loophole can help you offset other active income.

If you don't like the idea of giving up control, being an active investor might be better for you.

Then I would focus on either the active side of investing with finding deals and providing value to other investors, with the possibility of partnering with them on a deal.
