From a “landlording” lens, however, I’d recommend recruiting a solid team of locals (e.g. attorneys, leasing agents, property managers, contractors, etc.) who can help you with closing, leasing, maintenance, repairs, and capex.New construction and turnkey assets are also popular among long-distance investors, since you either won’t have to do much maintenance or capex at the outset (in the case of new construction) or can work with a single, full-service point of contact (in the case of a turnkey property).

I have a small real estate development/construction/investment company with four partners.

They create the team and a plan, acquire, due diligence, take care of loan products (If needed), oversee construction/renovation, hire property manager (or run in house management,) take care of accounting/taxes/K1s, deal with closing or refinancing.An LP (limited partner) just puts in the funds (after hopefully vetting the GP and team) and keeps fingers crossed while earning mailbox money. 

you can do a hard money style loan where its 50% down on the land and lender provides 100% of construction 

are you doing construction?

for construction is tough to find but for permanent financing 30 year fixed , yes available

Although I've been investing in and improving multifamily properties since 2000, I decided to go back to school and get a Bachelor's Degree in Construction Management from BCIT (I already have my Red Seal in Carpentry).

I'm a landlord of a newly constructed duplex in the New Orleans area.

It could be the tenant doesn't like to fully close the door because it gets too steamy in the shower.Water leaks can be tricky, but in my rentals, more often than not, it is an action by the tenant and not a plumbing or poor construction job.
