It seems that you may have a different view of what my perception of the meaning of "less passive" is.What you have stated above is why I consider that option to be "less passive" due to further involvement with the investment 

@Jay HinrichsThis is very generous of you for giving back to the society, although you technically disqualified all out of state investors :).Thanks again for your generosity and ecnouragement to all new invstors to which I count myself as part of..you cluld have sold the property and given the proceeds to charity but you chose this route to encourage the community...This singular is most appreciated.....Merry Christmas!

When the vertical lines in your space show up in the photograph as actually vertical, is gives the perception to the viewer that there is order.

While I won't defend him on run down rentals I think it is unfortunate that society wants to hold him responsible for vacant properties and drug trade which he did not create.

I'd say to contact the inspector(s) you've got good relationships with and not knowing the whole situation this is one you'd have to decide exactly how to handle it, but maybe its setting up a meeting with one of the supervisors or just talking on the phone, but with the goal of getting the point across that you want to spread the word throughout their office (and admittedly, its a large city with a lot of inspectors, we're not just talking about like 5 people here) but to get the point across that you are in this for the long term, you will be keeping your properties in great shape, etc because like I said before, from the DNS point of view and especially being from out of town (and double that for being from Chicago, which for whatever reason, SOME Milwaukee people think of as being something bad) for all they know, you could be the latest out of town slumlord and you need to smash that perception into a million pieces and that may well be something you'll have to do many times over, but its not that hard to do.

Baiting a borrower" this is where a lender manipulates the conditions or circumstances to cause a borrower a greater loss in failing to perform or gives the borrower the perception of a greater loss.  

Real estate is a necessity for society, it is not a luxury item, (can be) but in fills a basic human needs. 

There seems to be a perception on bigger pockets that you can get a much better deal if you bypass Turnkey and hire a realtor; I disagree.

Since people are creatures of habit, are tied down by work commitments, or family and society pressure to buy, those feeling the itch to buy in their loins are going to do so regardless of market timing.

The trick is to find someone in that top 20%.And yes, the low barriers to entry (for realtors) don't help, nor do the high emotions and large sums of money involved with a home purchase - it can be a perfect storm.That being said, to put a positive spin on your post...I think it is very important for those of us with real estate licenses to understand your perception, and realize that it is likely to be shared by a large subset of the population.
