I am VERY involved in all aspects of my business...and, although I trust, I also know how everything is done and verify most things.

There are variables involved, and there’s of course skill and effort required not just calls.

👏Regarding subcontractor contracts, it’s essential to have a well-thought-out document to ensure clarity and protect all parties involved.

There is a lot of training involved, it takes months (up to 2 years), and they usually like to start them off as puppies.

I'm not completely foreign to the construction process as I grew up around a family that was involved in home building, but due to living in another state I can't really lean on them for the direct, hands-on guidance. 

The higher the cap rate, the more risk involved in the building. 

That said, you could go to the mayor and police chief and ask what steps were taken with the involved officers.

And having a property manager does not mean that you’re not directly involved with a lot of issues with your properties.Given your situation I might rather suggest a REIT investment where you get exposure to the category, but not have to deal with such a large portfolio, or just get your feet wet and see if you like being a landlord by buying a couple of properties  Randy  

I’ve been involved in real estate investing for over 30 years, so if you ever have any questions or need guidance, feel free to reach out.

I have 30+ units and on a regular month usually only spend about 5 hours total on management things, most of which involves collecting rents and bookkeeping.
