Instead of platforms like Angi, try building relationships directly with contractors, architects, and developers.

A more realistic expectation is 24 hours which will ensure we can arrange any repairs or corrections with a team, handle it in person, etc. be curious how this plays out as I worked for local developer for a while and developed several properties in Alexandria (Specifically old town) and while the city is challenging like any city - they were mostly realistic.

I currently use Gold Key Property Management in Anderson IN, and have been very happy with there services.

Know your market cap rate and you can quickly determine whether property is worth a closer look. 

Over the last 3 months, I’ve moved 4 of our 12 units over to a property manager.

In addition to managing a diverse portfolio of rental properties, we've successfully flipped several properties in recent years.

There is well developed  case law that points to a guarantor having to receive a benefit in order for the lender to hold them accountable in the event of a default etc.

@Ivan CastanonCan’t find a rental property to cashflow?

My plan is to mainly focus on cash flowing properties that make the 2% rule. 

You should be able to take out a small loan using the property as collateral.
