If they have money and can compete on pricing, brokers will be the best bet.  

I’ve sacrificed a lot of time with my family, my overall physical fitness has diminished as I no longer work out 6 days a week, and my social life is pretty much nonexistent.So, trust me, I’ve had multiple times that I’ve asked, “why am I doing this?”

The claims of 1hr to collect rent, produce receipts, and deposit checks also seems like a reasonable claim if done physically and not electronically.

I bet we would have made around $100k as a wholesale.

My friend Dylan Marma would be a solid bet and I'd be happy to make an intro.Using leverage to scale, such as borrowing against this cash for larger down payments?

With training, it's great.Time spent varies from Client to Client, but I'd bet they probably spend ~30min answering our questions and clarifying transactions to close out the year.

Here's how I do my due diligence:1) Portfolio matching: (takes 30 seconds per deal)a) Have an educated opinion on where I think we are in the real estate cycles (financial and physical market cycles)b) Then and only then do I pick the strategies, capital stack, and specialized asset subclasses that make sense for that opinion.

Do you need or want monthly cashflow, tax write-offs, betting on appreciation,....   

@Steven Hamilton II I want to mention that My husband and I both reside in California, and I manage the property remotely from California via Zoom calls, and also physically visits the property.

That’s the best bet.
