@Kyle Cross, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think maybe what you're getting at is potentially pitching to your parents that you would like to take a shot at personally managing the units to gain experience and some form of compensation.

So if I understand correctly, RWN brought shady deals to their investors, watched them invest without proper due diligence and investors got screwed?

Unfortunately, my experience has been problematic, to put it mildly:* Communication: There were significant communication issues, including difficulty scheduling calls, which is still an ongoing problem.* Additional Charges: Jenny requested that I deposit on her checking account an additional $20-25k for her to purchase furniture, which I refused because I thought it was very strange, opting to give my card # instead.* Work Quality: Jenny never showed up to the house, she sent 2 people instead, she never mentioned she would not show up herself, she never asked for approval to send two others instead, they did not complete the job, and there were multiple unauthorized charges on my card.* Receipts and Expenses: Once I brought to Jenny's attention that we were 20k above budget, she refused for days to give me the receipts, saying that I needed to give her my credit card statement first.

Be a pro, be honest, be fair, be consistent, communicate, and you'll do well from an investor's perspective. 

@Cole Bossert I think @Sarah Kensinger and others have touched on the biggest qualities, especially communication.

Chris, you're absolutely correct. 

Hey guys,
I have read a number of articles and books about the BRRRR method.  It is "marketed" as a way to scale up quickly, but I had a question regarding the method. 
It seems, obviously, that the method is strong...

I think communication seems to be the issue here especially with your comment on how the PM is unresponsive.

The gripe I hear with PMs is they don't communicate, don't vet/put in good tenants, and don't care about the owners.

kept using people who don't do real estate to do my taxes, and also they had horrible communication skills, I don't trust people who only see u as money.
