And even here, you still need to be "active" to research who you are lending your $$ to, and due diligence on the deal itself prior to investing your money.

Hi Kmsuea, it all depends on your commitment to actively looking for and purchasing a property. 

Be pro active.

Your best bet would be to find a portfolio lender whose niche aligns with your investment strategy. 

While the power can't be selectively turned off, it’s really about active management and oversight once the utilities are in the PM's name.

I just appreciate the responses so far and hopefully the back and forth replies may be able to clarify and help investors who want to be more passive than active find investing opportunities that fit their personalities and their goals.

If you want to control real estate that is active.

It's a very local question based on the comps and active/recently sold inventory inside the community.

Denver and its surrounds have particularly active markets and a lot of active individuals offering ancillary services so I'd suggest you research those available services you're looking at offering to help you get an idea for what is well covered, what is lacking and what your competitor's pricing looks like.

I don’t have a ton of experience, 4 units right now and actively looking for more however I would be willing to try and host something if we can get some traction to get some networking going.
