You can basically connect a plethora of accounts (Google, Facebook, Instagram, Your Email, etc.) and set up specific scenarios to fit your needs.Example: I have an email automation that takes all of the emails I get from various agents, and stores the details into a spreadsheet.Or something expense related...I have another automating that basically exports a spreadsheet from my Quickbooks account (Where ALL of my expenses are centralized now) and inputs the information in an organized manner as monthly/quarterly/semi-annual report!

Sometimes you have to get in where you fit in.

I suggest focusing on building your "Core 4" team—agent, lender (one who can finance both the purchase/rehab and refinance is ideal), contractor, and property manager.

If you can rent it for enough to cover the principal, interest, taxes and insurance and still put money in your pocket, plus cash flow on the property you're purchasing, that would be ideal.

I just appreciate the responses so far and hopefully the back and forth replies may be able to clarify and help investors who want to be more passive than active find investing opportunities that fit their personalities and their goals.

That style of learning and introduction to true industry catches my attention as having someone in the space that understands the space to bounce things off of and learn from seems to be the ideal way.I have through a handful of the webinars and follow up calls with different companies and they all basically pitch similar ideas and strategies.

So if you make you buy box too tight, you will find very few deals that will fit your buy criteria. 

If managing it yourself feels unsustainable in the long run, hiring a good property manager could give you more peace of mind.Since a 1031 exchange or like-kind replacement doesn’t seem to be a good fit for your current situation, you could consider a HELOC if you need to tap into the equity for other investments without selling the property, although rates are high so this would eat up your cash flow.

The property will be strictly for investment purposes, not a primary residence.I’ve been looking into two potential financing options:Hard Money Lenders (HML) – I’m drawn to this option for its speed in closing, but I know the rates can be higher.DSCR Loans – This seems like a great option for long-term rentals, but I’m unsure if it’s the right fit for my auction property since it might need some rehabbing.I’m also considering purchasing through a land trust or an LLC to add a layer of protection and privacy.So, my questions are:What’s the best way to approach financing for auction properties?
