At the end of the day vet these lead gen sites/companies on a short-term basis, then flip to something else if the leads are not working while having the right expectations.

Asking is it worth it is like asking does it taste good – what do you expect it to taste like?

You will expect the GC to do all of this for you, and for free at that.

@Minji KimRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which is VERY important for stable rental income and low property maintenance/damage.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

If I was an investor financing the remaining 29% - 19%, I personally would expect my equity split to be reflective of such. 

You’ll want to consider the purchase price, HOA fees, taxes, insurance, and the rental income you can realistically expect.

Hopefully this gets others who review these forums to reassess their portfolios and formulate more realistic disposition expectations.

No thanks.So I really have been interested in passively investing in good deals with experienced sponsors, but want to set my expectations to be realistic and right for this. 

You will be dealing with an older housing stock, so higher deferred maintenance and capex should be expected.
