Quote from @Bruce Woodruff: Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: virtually every house we fund looks a version of this . 

BTW: I have zero affiliation with Deal Machine... just saying it's an app thats worked for me.

And it's one of the few, true, "set it and forget it" investments out there, as there is no maintenance and virtually no risk - the only risk is a US Government default (which would be apocalyptic and thus one of the few things our gov't would never do). 

Additionally, there is specialized equipment including diagnostic machines and hydraulic lifts.The use of the accelerated depreciation strategy helps real estate investors to reduce the tax liability immediately which therefore increases their bottom line due to the offsetting of income.

If the house is vacant, I like these to be Virtually Staged Pictures... 

If you can establish a solid network (even virtually at first), and maybe leverage your savings to buy a property with rehab in mind, the reward could be the path you're looking for to make those five-year goals a reality.Of course, the risks are there, but if you're comfortable and see the upside, it could be worth leaning into.If you need more insight into BRRRR execution or anything specific about market selection and building a remote team, feel free to ask.Hope that helps!

Building these relationships virtually takes time, but it’s all about trust and keeping the lines open.

AI - Machine learning capabilities can help you calculate market rents, find comparable properties, and identify lucrative investment opportunities.

As a company we are considering a third party that offers virtual/face time walk thru's where human engagement occurs from the first phone call, until 11pm, weekends, holidays included- where the prospective tenant is loosely (virtually) tethered all the way through showings, feedback, follow ups and ultimately application process.

Felt like I was speaking with a virtual assistant backed by AI.He estimated my re-roof would be half the size at double the rate quotes I got from everybody else... truly amateur hour for somebody that claimed to have done hundreds of these.I also was never able to find more than 5 property records tied to his name or to related LLCs.
