I've considered investing in REIT's and funds (Rich Uncles, Fundrise, Realty Mogul).

You can try Kale Realty, a local firm that does smaller property management.I think you can somewhat manage this yourself if you hire a local leasing agent when it becomes vacant. 

Just be careful with some of the local wholesaling/realty outfits.  

I work for a Wholesale Brokerage called Networth Realty.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone was a member of this group. Citrus county seems to be a good area to invest.

There's a multi for sale in the area I have 2 4plexes in...for over a year, two different realty's...The numbers are better than any of my 3 buildings.

@Sheena R RothWhen posts like these pop up trope and trite lines about "realties" of being a landlord or how we run business, not charities get thrown around like lawn furniture in a tornado, but they miss one salient fact: it costs nothing to type that advice, but you'll be the one that has to follow through on it and live with the consequences.

If someone knows you, if someone likes you, and hears that you're in the market for a property and their friend's grandma is looking to sell, they just might bring that deal to you before they hoof it to the realty office down the street.

You can find me online at Realty One Group Sterling.
