I spent a decade in advertising, before founding and running a custom wood shop for another decade, so 'm pretty good at the self-promotion.I agree with you that the more gorilla approach would be most effective and that's actually what i've been doing – calling RE agents in my service area with active listings, introducing myself to property managers and leasing agents...To answer your question, I will have to handle the work myself for 6-12 months to build out the SOPs and field service management systems, but I have a lot of relationships for those looking to "do the work".I'll check out the meet up and would love to grab a cup of coffee, I'll shoot you an email.

Investing in NNN lease (Walgreens, Dollar General, etc are your tenants) is also fairly passive, but you maintain a bit more control. 

I was told that I have to use the lease value * 0.75 until there are two years of rental income.

1 year lease for an apartment to a single woman with a dog in Duluth, GA. 

Below is the link of the property:https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/927-Dixon-St-Tiptonville-TN/...No idea why it would be listed in the title unless the owners took some kind of government incentive that requires them to only lease to section 8 tenants.

Finally, the insurance provider repeated their answer, and this hurdle too was crossed.Very early in the process, we sent over leases for our rental properties.

A landlord can require a tenant to obtain an insurance policy as part of the lease.

And given #3 above, it leaves about 20% of rent for all other expenses like property tax, insurance and other PM expenses like leasing fee, eviction fee and other minor expenses like for e.g landscaping, pest control etc.

The greatest control point is before that first lease.
