The plan: I am identifying on/off market properties that are targets, will do all of the real estate work (listing, showing, advertising, vetting, etc) and will split the cost of the purchase of the home and the material costs for any needed repairs.The contractor will be subbing out portions of the job and be on site mostly full time until the project is completed. 

Slope is not your friend, neither is poor access and there are many more to watch out for.

There are a lot of moving pieces to the sale of a property, and having an accessible resource to guide you along the way is crucial.

They often have access to listings before they hit the market and can provide insights on upcoming opportunities.hope this helps-

One of the more creative ideas I have come across that I am going to be implementing is splitting cost of advertising/lead generation with realtor partners. 

The size of the deal makes a difference.Larger apartment complexes are typically not advertised outside of the Brokerage webist and lists, so unless you're on their list, you may not know those deals exist. 

@Kevin ForsellThis is a contrary opinion but I would in 2024, with the technology we have accessible, investing OOS is totally doable.  

you can give the walls and ceilings a cleaning using TSP before painting and sealing as suggested.also you only need to remove one side of any shared walls for full access if you really wanted to see everything vs electrician cutting access and patch.I would say you should remove all the trim to get a good seal behind, and help update.

My biggest advice is to Invest in high-quality, professional photos that highlight the lake views, dock access, and unique features like the gravel lot and dead-end road location.

I agree with Nathan..... there should be a compromise to make both happy.But legally the camera is pointing towards his vehicle, in his parking assigned space and if its also viewing a common public area, there is no invasion of privacy... its a common shared access area.
