From what I've seen and the reviews, it's fairly easy to find these deals and works in remote markets, as you're not maintaining the properties.

It just depends on your goals.You also have to be careful with posts like these, this is where all the real estate agents come in and tell you that their market is best so that they can get your business.If your goal is appreciation, I would focus on higher price point markets.

So that can't be someone selling you properties or stock investments (they say they care...)Best to find someone local to you usually. 

It’s a good idea to review local real estate development compensation norms or even consult with a lawyer to ensure the deal is fair.In your uncle’s case, the terms seem fairly favorable to the engineer if he is only handling the development and not contributing any capital.

Not only will this help reduce unexpected costs but tenants often take care of their property better when they are responsible for the repair costs. 

Quote from @Zachary Ware: A PadSplit can be very heavy in CF but be careful if you are renovating a house and adding extra rooms.

absolutely... but be careful... be smart in what you invest in... trust me my friend https://www.biggerpockets.com/...take warning ... be smart... be vigilant

The property had a tenant in place, so we had to navigate that carefully.

Be careful on the lender side, insurance should be a smooth transition though.

Covid taught us to be careful but it also said live a little.
