I have clients that invest both ways what it really comes down to is your situation and goals. 

The numbers you find in the news are usually for all properties combined, which tells you very little value.In 2005, we selected a specific tenant segment that has proved to be a highly reliable source of income for our clients.

There are flippers here in Los Angeles I actually steer my clients away from certain flippers because I know the quality of work they do and I have a duty to disclose.

I have my attorney make all of my LLCs and all of my clients that invest OOS. 

None of my clients do the "co-GP", its a very thin facade...light on substance usually will land both parties under federal trouble...

They help you find short or mid term clients.

I have three clients who have done well with AirBNB, with annual revenues from $30k-$60k on houses.......

@Doug Stankavich I talked to my clients about their experience with Summit.

I just set up a Google Appointment Calendar to let clients book showings and meetings directly—really excited to see how that streamlines things.

:)Chances are you won't find anyone on these forums that have actually used them, but best of luck.I would ask them for client referrals.
