It's probably the best and easiest way to get started investing in my opinion.

I only own 2 duplexes, live in half of my second once. 

He would pay rent usually half around 15th and then the other half around 25th-30th of every month, so he was always a month behind.

If he failed to pay, it could be construed to be a failure of consideration so the deed fails and she's still in title with him and all he can convey is his half. 

I fit their demographic as far as being new to investing and not having much to invest, so I feel like it's the easiest and best way for me to jump in, but your concerns have me listening.

@Audrey Sommer it will be challenging to match what a PMC can do.Example: we post to around 30 websites via syndications via two software programs we pay for and also have a marketing team that manually enters a few.The Zillow Group is probably the easiest for a landlord to use.

The only problem is, they seem to be very lazy and inconsistent (just irresponsible all around) - in the past when I've had to send them warnings (short of an actual 3-day notice), they do mitigate the most important issues but only half-assed and temporarily. 

At least 2-3 times each week, I get a referral or lead for someone wanting to buy an investment property with 5% down that cashflows $23.00/month with an insurance estimate that is half of what's realistic.

The easiest way to be successful in real estate is finding someone doing what you want to do at a larger scale and more of less, copying their recipe.

Over half of my clients are remote Buyers, so I've gone through the STR transition process with lots of investors over the past few years.
