You want to talk to friends and family on this, I don't know anyone who would see this on the Internet and be like, yeah, this sounds like exactly what I am looking to do with my money.

Washer/dryer, internet etc.

Embarassing self-reply, but if anyone on the internets stumbles on this one. 

I think investing from Internet is pretty tough right now. 

from a laptop or mobile phone on one of my SFR's (internet must be hooked up, but most tenants do it anyway and like to be able to monitor the outside of the house remotely, even if there's nothing going on.)

I'm currently reading a book right now that it is pretty informative called: "Fire Yourself"Nick, there are literally hundreds of these deals that come out every month.And syndications include crowdfunding deals which are essentially the same thing except they are allowed to advertise over the Internet.

The internet makes the world very small.As far as buying out of state, one challenge I did not see any other replies mention is your occupancy. 

I find that other formulations of the risk adjusted return analysis either (1) are too simplistic (typically the ones available through an internet search or (2) are so complicated and require so exactly an information input determination that to successfully use requires an advanced degree in statistics or analytics (usually ones taught in “top ten” college courses or (3) are so poorly developed that they can’t be relied on within 3 standard deviations from the mean.  

If it can be used as a STR it's going to have septic, well water and need Starlink for internet.

@Daniel HymanThanks for the idea but another problem I have with using the government internet is a lot of things on websites don't work because of the firewall and network settings so when I try to apply for the account it just doesn't go to anything.
