Simply invest in funds operated by people who are out there in the public, doing events, being interviewed.

And again, you'll get advice from posters that could not care less whether you follow it to the "T". 

Quote from @Paul T.: Thanks to OP for this post!

Most of my owners use our services because we take the property off of their hands and minds and they simply collect their checks as they come in but I have some owners that prefer to be more hands on and use our services because they value my opinion, resources, and ability to get their homes occupied at top dollar.- From someone who owns and operates a MTR and LTR PM company with over 75 units and an investor myself

For me, the first pass at underwriting is simply about determining if a deal is worth exploring further.In the current market, I’d say 9 out of 10 deals are dead on arrival.

Most Heloc rates right now are around 7.75% to 10% so if you look at your blended rate between your fist and Heloc you would be better off doing a cash out refinance.A lot of people forget or simply do not know that if you do a cash out refinance the rate does go up but in 12 to 24 months if you do a "rate and term" refinance you can get it back down fairly close to where it was at prior.

My hiccups from a percentile basis are minute to folks with a fraction of my portfolio simply because of the aforementioned statement.

I'm not sure if they can realistically pass that liability off to you simply by stating it in their contract.

We have become good at it, by simply issue a 3 day letter to pay rent or quit.

If you own (2) properties free and clear you could simply do a cash out refinance.
