Who do you have currently in your home market that you can trust - generally you are going to want a trusted "core team" to do long-distance investing - for a flip, should definitely include a trusted partner and/or contractor + agent + lender at the very least

I only sold the property because my partner wanted to, it was a great rental for us.

You could invest passively by being a private lender (earning high interest), being a money partner (getting equity and a return for no work), investing in a syndication deal (similar to money partner but on bigger deals where you are one of many investors), buying another investment property and hiring a property management company, or investing in stocks. 

I would address these issues people are having and even explore starting fresh with a new listing. 3) I would find something local to offer by partnering with a local business to give a discount for maybe something like jet ski rentals, restaurants, etc. 

I don't think there are any, unless you are willing to bring in a money partner.

I will most likely either buy a house hack, small multifamily, or partner deal with my first purchase. 

If anyone is interested in partnering with something like this, leave your email down below and i'll send you more info-

Has anyone done a deal with Strategic Investments Partners?

Tons of support here so ask away.I am on the lending side of things and would be happy to hop on a call with you anytime to discuss financial strategies and help answer any questions you may have about nearly any loan product available to help you on your journey, even if they are not products my capital partners offer.

@Jim Blumenthaltypically small multifamily is too small to divide the equity among 'investors'you could try to find a single local partner - but i would do a bunch of deals yourself first before i would even think about partneringin any event - i'd start with a house hackgood luck
