Any brokerage can be the right fit for you so long as you commit to taking initiative and putting in the work.By 'work', I mean income-producing activities (lead generation and follow-up) i.e. cold calling, door-knocking, contacting your sphere of influence, networking, hosting open houses, running online advertising, marketing (paper or online), or anything else that will get you in front of prospective clients.My first broker rarely answered my phone calls and by the time she responded, I'd often already have the answer I was looking for.

My overall goal is have passive income while I am able to travel the world at ease. 

The lease would establish income, which can be used for loan qualification purposes.

I recommend you do this annually to adjust for utility increases and other variables.

There are also additional costs of operating and maintaining an LLC, like separate bank accounts, annual report filings, tax filings, etc.2.

Giving up $100k+,in tax free income.

Save that down payment money you mentioned or go for a multi family at a higher price than the single but have rental income. 

That will give you income to invest.

@Brenden Sperl - Can you clarify you rental income?

Lenders will want to know if the property is generating income and if it qualifies for a DSCR loan or traditional financing.
