I know that would be the easiest approach but wondering your thoughts.2.

@Tim Simmons No, we don't typically give the house captain a discount, but we've started to give them some type of gift card if they're doing a good job communicating.

The easiest way to structure this is to purchase the property with a hard money lender that will cover both the purchase price and the rehab cost and refinance the loan with a conventional or DSCR loan 

Easiest way to find tenets is affordablehousing.com, Once I got my property on there it rented within a week, it was previously on the market for 2 months 

We intend to gift properties and money to our heirs and they can be investors and landlords or whatever they chose to do.Not sure I really want a financial planner telling me what I am doing is screwed up, but I will listen to other RE investors and any good ideas they may wish to share. 

It's probably the best and easiest way to get started investing in my opinion.

Not an issue for everyone ( mine is 800) 3 For down payment  there are  down payment savings plans ( I have an IDA) In addition there may be additional 1st time or income qualified grants available  ( in my area its up to 60k- if the funding is avail) Also non IDA savings and gifts ( from what I hear) could be used.

I fit their demographic as far as being new to investing and not having much to invest, so I feel like it's the easiest and best way for me to jump in, but your concerns have me listening.

@Audrey Sommer it will be challenging to match what a PMC can do.Example: we post to around 30 websites via syndications via two software programs we pay for and also have a marketing team that manually enters a few.The Zillow Group is probably the easiest for a landlord to use.

The easiest way to be successful in real estate is finding someone doing what you want to do at a larger scale and more of less, copying their recipe.
