However, since it is local, I can be very choosey with the areas I invest in and can monitor the rehab closely.The group I have been using offers two options.  1) Truly turnkey with tenant already in place.  2) They will wholesale an investor the property, handle the rehab and then place and tenant and manage the property.  

This past weekend I installed additional wifi and instrumented my pool to monitor and log the temperature over the internet.I've got two questions for everyone1.

I bought in July of 2009, never really saw the house dip in value more then 10k, just kind of hung there, at least from watching zillow/zestimate and USAA home value monitoring.

What are some of the things that work and not work when it comes to monitoring and managing the manager.

Hello @Matthew Pilkington,Well i am a Salesperson here in NY and i also freelance for investment sales to investors in other states in the US.In a Duplex, management can be at ease, you can evaluate you expenses and monitor cash flow.

When placing an ad in Marketplace on BP for private money, does the scc monitor the offerings as securities?

If you haven't, download one of the free credit monitors so you can get an idea.

My property is pretty well seasoned and I only need to visit once every few weeks and also monitor the property via security cameras from home.

I would certainly want to visit the deal, meet the GPs, view other projects they've completed, and, most importantly, talk to their existing investors about their experiences.

In these instances we charge a flat rate of $100/mth for a SFR - that covers collecting rents & paying bills, ensuring services are delivered, monitoring the property and the occasional simple/light maintenance.
