Most PMs concentrate on marketing, and at least somewhat neglect operations.  

It could be a game-changer for streamlining your operations.

We work with experienced operators that have great reputations and are doing multiple deals at a time. 

Living in a great travel destination like Sonoma you should consider a duplex or triplex and operate the other unit(s) on AirBNB, VRBO, etc.

I am curious to learn how these operations are managed from abroad.From what I've seen, it's 100% possible to invest in real estate in the United States remotely.

This isn't 2011-2013 days but many people are stuck in that time period STILL.As I finish my licensing study, I'm very grateful I chose this route as opposed to being a one trick pony.Wholesalers did themselves in by their method of operating.  

In this case, you would draft an operating agreement that specifies each partner's role—your friend providing the cash and you handling the rehab and management—and that profits and ownership are split evenly.

If this is correct, how much are you cash flowing each month after you pay your operating expenses and make your loan payment?

Quote from @Jesse Valdez: When operating a business, it pays to know the laws.In most states, guests staying fewer than 30 days can be removed by police for failure to pay rent or obey the rules.

I operate from Pensacola to Destin to PCB.
