🤷‍♂️Love this post and what Scotty posted.Congrats on your success thus far.As much as I love real estate and business it never is passive and never will be totally passive unfortunately.There is always a risk component involved and a reliance on someone.There will always be that gut wrenching phone call that makes the stomach turn.It all come's down to how much is enough for someone to live a happy life.I unofficially retired at 28 and am back chasing now at 36.Parents and family are getting older and have a huge will and in a way pressure to retire my old man.A beautiful person and father.I've checked off mum and uncle from the list hahaFew more to go lolI am and always will be a "real estate guy" per se but a few years ago I asked myself this question:"How can I get the highest possible return, with the least amount of risk, without doing any work and without involving anyone else?"

You rarely get phone calls from your tenants and they are business owners vs. folks with kids, pets, showers and toilets. 

We have a phone conference with Partner Driven Real Estate in the morning.

@Brooke Williamson I would advise that you get on the phone and verify what the PM is saying

@Alex Breshears what about for direct mail can I use my home address and my regular cell phone number or should I get a Google number?

You likely won't find your answer on the internet, FB marketplace is a good start, but I found all my help up there through referrals and picking up the phone. 

Side note your phone will blow up with all the notifications from Airbnb so be prepared for that. 

Have you found mailers or phone calls to be more successful?

You get a phone call from an out of state attorney who informs you that a long lost relative has passed away.

I also met a great GC through her network of people, one just by google search and a phone conversation and another from a local property inspector.
