I personally don’t see LP syndication investors as Real Estate investors.  

That could work if you find the right person.

Have met him personally a couple times and he is just a great guy all around. 

I have purchased 3 STRs personally in the last 18 months and have closed on at least 25 for clients in the past 12 months.  

Some regional cities that I personally would consider are Savannah, Beaufort, Wilmington, Columbia, Greenville, and Charlotte.

Someone to stock supplies, an appliance repair person, heating/air conditioning repair, plumber, lawn care person, carpenter, salesman, and occasionally an electrician. 

I personally like the BRRRR strategy - it's not easy to pull off but it's simple and it works in theory. 

The person had something of an accent.

I can provide support of checking in on contractors, staging rental properties, walk potential leads to give you an idea of the property in person or what the area is like, meeting with agents, and drafting scope of work for projects. 

Personally, if the property is in a bad area, this will give you headaches no matter what.
