I find joy in building lasting relationships, jumping daily mortgage hurdles, and getting borrowers the keys to their very own home.

The biggest hurdle you run into getting these completed is getting all the contractor information complete and approved.

Investing from afar has its hurdles and additional risks associated with it, so you really need to decide what your actual financial and business goals are before you decide to move down one investment strategy path or another.

It's easy to botch these transactions if you fail to clear all of the hurdles and comply with all of the rules.

But even so, there's still risk and uncertainty.My question is:1) How do you get over the mental hurdle of trusting someone else will do a good job without you being there in person?

That’s what I see as your biggest hurdle. 

@Bill Brandt would it be unreasonable to ask them to replace them?

It happens at sale or at refinance if you’re able to pull out enough capital to exceed the negotiated waterfall.Your specific example is not common and highly unlikely, but the general concept is doable.I typically see 8% pref paid pari-passu (90% LP/10% GP), return of Capital pari-passu, then an 80% LP and 20% GP from an 8% to 15% or so and at that point there would be a “promote” and the GP could be at 30% and the LP would be at 30%These numbers and hurdles are all negotiable.

"§ 214 (F) THE TENANT HAS UNREASONABLY REFUSED THE LANDLORD ACCESS TO THE HOUSING ACCOMMODATION FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAKING NECESSARY REPAIRS OR IMPROVEMENTS REQUIRED BY LAW OR FOR THE PURPOSE OF SHOWING THE HOUSING ACCOMMODATION TO A PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER, MORTGAGEE OR OTHER PERSON HAVING A LEGITIMATE INTEREST THEREIN;"  If your trying to sell the tenant has to let you in for repairs or you can evict

I’m curious as to what the best ways to gain credibility in the community as I am equipped with best practices of the business, but I am looking to gain credibility and a positive reputation in the community so that I can get past the hurdle of your first deal or two.
