Is communication critical?

Slow methodical precise detached from the outcome.3.

@Joey Gedgaud we take over a lot of properties where owner complains previous PMC:1) Poor communication, taking many days, sometimes weeks, to get a response.2) Maintenance work being done without notice or approval request.3) Surprises for extra fees, services not covered , etc. because the management contract was "simple & short" instead of thorough.

My understanding is that in this method, the seller has to be an owner.

My mom is in direct communication with the Managing Partner who promises every week that he’s going to send her money, but hasn’t paid a dime. 

Along the way, i was introduced to the BRRRR method and have now adopted that strategy for my property. 

I have been in talks with a GC in Georgia and his method of building is: He builds everything at costs and doesn't include any markup or fees, he oversees everything, I only supply funding, and we split 50/50 the profits after paying back the bank and all other associated fees.Since I am only supplying the funding for the deal, is there a way I can structure doing this so that this is considered passive income for myself since I won't be involved with the construction or overseeing the project?

Quote from @David Tiefenthaler: Brandon is a great teacher and a good person, but that book teaches methods that are not good for investors and are more likely to get you in trouble.

They have not responded to my communications since they left. 

I would also suggest you reach out to someone who has experience in the BRRR method of investing.
