If you're not having any luck with mortgage brokers (I'd search out the ones who specialize in investments), then go to your local REI meeting. 

Curious to know what type of property I should be considering/searching for/advising him on.

@Mario Morales - Personally, I would do some research in your target market and search (even it on zillow) for 2-4 family properties and see what agent(s) seem to transact the most in that space.

You’d like to think you get what you pay for; however on this instance you seem to be over paying for hands off passive real estate.If passive real estate is truly what you are searching for, have you considered 1031 exchanging into a DST (Delaware Statutory Trusts) or other rules of syndications?

You can also search for local FB groups that specialize in longer term stays.

PreREO I believe was run by the same person who owns AHP (American Home Preservation) - which has a lot of chatter on BP that you can search. 

Easy google search if you want to look it up.I do expect them to take profit on this, otherwise how would they survive, but if you think you'll really get far doing this way that's a different question.

During the months of searching for the perfect property, his has decided to move out of state, closer to family.

I do not wish to waste my time watching videos,searching the internet for how tos and what I should be doing.
