Lease to a Property Management CompanyPartner with a management company that handles the STR or corporate rental for a predictable income with minimal hassle.

For flips, people look for a quick return with minimal market risk.

You buy a property at a discount, do minimal work (if any), and then resell it quickly for a profit.

The property remains a valuable asset in my portfolio, delivering strong returns while requiring minimal ongoing investment.

Part of the “problem” is that unqualified  syndicators tend to take money from anyone who meets minimal governmental requirements.  

As for the value of carrying, I believe it's minimal.

We also use software to document/communicate out to ALL residents during the lease term in order to minimize inquiries from parents who aren't well informed.

I've already got a salaried position which demands more hours than it pays (like they all do), so something with minimal hands on requirement in my spare time would be ideal.

These strategies allow individuals to invest in real estate with minimal down payment, gain exposure to the industry, and build capital.Good luck!

The Philadelphia rental market remains strong, especially in high-demand areas near universities, hospitals, and transit hubs, so vacancies can generally be minimized with the right property in the right location.
