And it is very straightforward to file these, so I would expect it to be well within the scope of any operator sophisticated enough to pull off an owner financed deal. 

The sky’s the limit, however, depending on the sophistication and the amount of due diligence help you request.

Folks are just trying to drum up business, some do it well, other's aren't as sophisticated about it. 

Since I am new to this space, I would prefer to have as safe of an investment as possible then graduate to the more sophisticated. 

If you're looking for the all-in-one I'd go with a PM software (others have suggested some) and do what you can with it.Then, as you grow further, look at more sophisticated/expensive options.

The local casino just replaced free charging with 50c/kwh (4-10x the home price.) when they figured out people were just leaving their car there to charge while they went home.

Also, I am connected with a lot of sophisticated investors on Linkedin and I don't want to lose their respect because I am starting to post educational content when I have never done any transactions.What do you guys think?

If it is in San Diego, it will likely be a sophisticated value add and not passive.So if you house hack a local property at high LTV, recognize it will cost you significantly more than renting a similar unit.  

@Dave Van Horn, is your fund for Accredited only investors, or can you take sophisticated investors?
