Just trying to think through the mechanics of how this will actually play out.  

I have my contractor do a little of the management when it comes time to play “Good cop bad cop” with them.

We also put some gaming chairs and a couch and a table for classic style Families love this set up because they can leave the kids in the game room and then have fun playing on the pool table or other parts of the house that they’re younger children playing in the game room a mini split to help with temperature control and get really cold at night and really hot in the afternoon in the summertime.

@Kaul Christian Kappenman - we did this play in 2019 - bought a new construction close to downtown and immediately turned it into a rental. 

Reading the SAFE Act carefully you'll see that there are two issues afloat, reserve requirements, bonds, accounting, examinations are all things banks screamed about when the first broker opened his door, banks were required to do all these things and brokers were not, so yes I'm sure they felt the playing field wasn't all that level.

Perfect passive income play, but we relocated overseas.Problem: How can we amplify the reach and attract savvy investors?

Depending on how urgently you want to pursue, and how much of the negotiating you care to partake in, a realtor is gonna be a safe play.

And indefinitely deferring the tax on the rest with your 1031.You've got a great scenario to play out here.

As far as strategy goes, long term rentals are extremely hard to cash flow right now and are more of a long term play on the appreciation side(never buy solely for that reason).

This purchase also has to make sense, but since you are living there it doesn't have to be crazy on returns. real estate is a long term play.
