Being 2000 miles away is difficult. I

I'm working on a 53 unit deal now without banks.There are so many different ways to skin a cat in this game. 

If you read what I said, I apologized if I assumed you weren't a HML and you were.My answer is still the same, there's nothing in the deal but problems for the buying from year 3 and beyond....and if you think I was lecturing you, you have a very thin skin. 

What are some of the difficulties that you consistently run into?

However, you will have some difficulty there since it's not in your name.

From the lenders point of view, they want to see that you have "skin in the game" that way if you do run into any complications, you'd be more motivated to address them as you are invested financially in the project yourself.Regarding the tenants, I'm a bit less experienced in that regard.

to make it more difficult, I got my family of 6 move in with relatives in Virginia.feel free to question my intelligence 

I've also since realized that I don't think my personality matches up well with the thick skin needed to be a landlord, and the deals I've found (yes, I know many can say I'm not finding good enough deals) don't have a ton of room for property management fees (or if they do, they're in areas that I would never want to have to go - and I would if something ever happened w property management). 

But I have read many topics on here, many investors facing difficulties with BRRRR now as the market is “not right” which make me have to think again about this strategy. (70% rule still working for this market?)

And doing things remotely adds an additional layer of difficulty.
