Would have to be an easier entrance into the role vs buying one on its own...from there, you could work to find partners now that you’ve established that your first rental is going well.

When investing trust and experience play major roles! 

In my current role at my FT job, I am in charge of people and labs.

I think that should play a role in the way to handle it.

If you want to open up your deal to non-accredited investors (investors with less than $1M net-worth excluding primary residence), there are very strict non-solicitation rules that would apply, to which your original post would probably disqualify you for.So, now you're left with an SEC 506(c) offering, which allows you to solicit accredited investors (net-worth of $1M and above), or taking general only partners, who have actual active roles with decision making power.If you're still want to take passive investors, you definitely want to talk with a good SEC attorney!

Taking on the wholesaling role didnt occur to me if I had the available capital.  

Another congrats Account Closed that you should find a way to share your story with young people who could benefit from a positive role model.

It's great to hear that BiggerPockets has been helpful and given you the tools to take a more active role in your rental properties.

Dogs are hard wired, that if the owner doesn't do the proper things to show that they're alpha, then the dog has to take the alpha role.
