The investors that i work with find this to be a good way to get a more passive investment that still has the benefits of owning and controlling the property.Best of luck getting started and connect with any questions.

If your time is worth $500 an hour I would spend the 5k on 10 hours of searching for a free mentor.

In cities like Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati, you could buy multiple properties for the same $200K-$250K you’d spend on one in a pricier market.

They take good care of the properties, but there's not enough attention given to pricing strategy and they spend money like nobody's business (not a problem when they were spending their own money on the master lease model, but a BIG problem when they were suddenly spending OUR money as the PM).

Id recommend the single-family rental because you have more control and you don't need to worry about some greedy operator screwing it up

Investing in area you're less familiar with combined with multiday travel can be more costly than spending more in your own market.

How much “control” are you willing to give up?
