Their technology is top notch!

In fact I learn more here than from "experts"Hoping Jay, James, Steve, Carlos etc opine too. thanks everyone, from 1 of the quiet kids sitting in the back of the room ;).In reality, I think there's too many variables people are not use to that they must be equipped for:1) High(er) cost of capital. 2) Higher barrier to entry(in almost any avenue, even going to your local baseball game)3) Illiquidity in trades(plumbing, eletricians, etc.)4) Scarcity in land5) Technological improvements6) Lack of family formationsAlmost none of this stuff was present before 2008.

You may be able to find such a CPA locally, and if not, don't be worried about finding someone that isn't local to you as technology eliminates the majority of barriers. 

I used to hate fake grass.. but in the past decade the technology has progressed so much that it can actually look kind of real.

@Mark Lin - It looks like your housing authority is one of those lagging in technology.

With my other long-term tenants in the building it was too risky.Based on what I am hearing people up to no good are leveraging the technology. 

For example: we made $100k from wholesale fees and spent $40k on marketing, technology, education etc. - resulting in a $60k net taxable income.The partnership splits this result between the partners and sends each of them Form K-1 that basically says: you made $30k from this partnership (assuming 50/50 split).Each partner adds his respective $30k to his personal income on his individual income tax return and pays taxes on his combined income from everything.So, the calculations of profit/loss are done on the partnership level, but the resulting taxes are paid on the personal level.

Does anyone self manage out of state rentals utilizing technology apps, vendors, and a decent handyman?

I have some tenants that are not up to date with technology, and the sites I have used require the applicant to pay and verify identity through email.

Hard money used to be a super local, more mom and pop shop type of industry, however, with advances and technology and institutional capital seeking to partake in this space, the industry has changed.
