Im not completely opposed to changing my intent, but think that i have some decent processes etc that will continue to work (even if requiring some modifications because of the lack of technological assistance) as long as i can get over this small hurdle :)

Otherwise, you need a solid log and a lot of hours.If you pass this hurdle, you will need to generate enough allowable losses to offset your W2 income, which also comes with complications.

Long distance investing seems to have a lot more hurdles for newbies so any advice on these topics is greatly appreciated. 

I think the hardest/biggest hurdle to overcome when doing something like this is the permitting with the city/county youre dealing with.

Unlike residential, commercial spaces can be tough to fill.Once you clear that hurdle, do it!!

I also had tenants call the fire department for a supply line leak once in the middle of the night.I think my tolerance level for unreasonableness gets lower every passing year.

Want to see any hurdles you had to overcome/ how many landlords did you have to encounter before finding one that would allow you to rent the property at a fixed rate and list it on Airbnb.

The hurdle has to do with payroll.

Brian Burke: We've kept the waterfall structure the same.You can see here.We used in this case, We used in this case, we used an 8% preferred return, and then we had three waterfall hurdle tears.The investors got 70% to 12 60% to 15.And then after 15, they got 50 50.And we've essentially I've been using this waterfall almost since I started way back in the beginning.Every once in a while, we might alter something here or there because we feel the need to.But too many times I've done that and been completely wrong.We had a deal that we did about three years ago where when we underwrote the deal, I felt that we needed to juice thereturn a little bit more.And so we switched the waterfall to an 80 70 60 instead of 70 60 50.And at the end of the day, when we sold that property, we delivered to our investors like a 32% IRR.And now I'm kicking myself like we really didn't need to do that.We could have left it.Just as this waterfall is here, our investors would have got a 28 IRR or whatever and been thrilled to death.So I tend to leave the waterfall alone most of the time.

The systems are working as they should.Having said this, I am growing and jumping hurdles in other enterprises.
