I think there will be a market for it and you will gain some market share, but I don't think there will be tons of profits coming in.

And are the deals profitable?

The high property taxes takes out most of the profits. 

You have to make sure that whatever company you choose will maximize your profits. 

is real mentors want to help other investors succeed , why not just help train new investor & split the profits 50/50 for deals that the new investors close ..

They would offer a more hands free approach, but eat up the profit in return.

If done correctly it can be very profitable.

How can I strike a deal where they can still receive some income from the property, but I can purchase the home and make my share and eventually (1-2 years away) own the home and eventually get full profit from this 8-unit property.

Reinvest profits, stay patient, and keep building toward replacing your income.

You manage the headache of guests and communication, cleaning, etc. and he provides the property, but shares in the expenses and profits.
