Once you have a handle on that then you can decide from that point. 

The one who thinks that they are masters of the universe in EVERY area of life, has 30 different businesses, claims to be fit as a fiddle, with a life in perfect harmony, shows off huge toys, has 30 different businesses, including selling their time by the hour to provide coaching... this person is not running a real estate syndication business.

A person doesn't have to like these new realities but realities they are none the less.

I personally don't quite see any of these positions being completely eliminated due to AI, at least not in the forseeable future. 

Quote from @Dereck Olson: Hi Nicholas,  Just a thought from the possible tenant's perspective, but filling out a prequalification form and/or providing personal information before they have even seen a place and know if they will be interested in living in the property might be a bit too much to ask. 

I think they meet in person, but not sure it may be on zoom - they are not members of MAREI, so I don't have all the info - they do post their meeting on Meetup.And there are a lot of virtual meetings, plus MAREI events on our calendar. 

- Why would you expect a well-run, profitable PMC to work for free handling maintenance? 

The lower barrier to entry would be excellent for my personally smaller net worth.

Also, would this loan help build my personal credit, or would it only report to business credit bureaus under my LLC?

Quote from @Monish Anand: Start by looking for personal recommendations from investors in that market, then look on realtor.com or a google search.DO NOT use agents suggested by a website like realtor, Zillow, etc.
