@Greg P.Given your objectives, if you extrapolate your numbers it would take 97 rentals earning $300/month to return $350,000 per year.One thing to keep in mind is that not wanting to invest locally and self manage, you will also have significant property management expenses.  

We are only selling completed homes with our own in house financing currently at 3.75%, a huge discount from most bank rates.We are a long time property provider for some of the bigger podcasters: Real Estate Guys Radio, Marco Santorelli (Norada), Kathy Fetke (RWN) Jason Hartman ( Empowerd Investor) GRE (Keith Weinhold), Whitecoat Investor Group and more We also work with American Homes for Rent, Invitation Homes, Crescent, Haven Realty (JP Morgan) to name a few on the institutional side We are partially owned as of 2022 by Sumitomom Forestry, which means we have no bank debt and self fund all our building projects.

i self manage 1 property that i used to live in and have PMs on the rest.i'm trying to BRRRR so that i can recoup all or most of my capital on each deal that i buy, and in 2024 i got outbid on 100% of what i went after.

I've helped self-managing investors find good property management after disastrous DIY experiences, and I've helped investors with terrible property management find qualified and reputable companies.

The policy below would be twice as high if we used our Personal insurer since they don't have the experience mods for Self-Storage.G. 

Coghill they are trying to take care of several things:1) Approval to access credit reportsA video tour of my home office (required by the credit repository to show security, so access to office & computers is limited to avoid data theft)Credit checks on me and my partner (required by the credit repository to make sure you are not criminals looking to steal others' data)Copies of the deeds for every property we own (required by the credit repository to confirm you aren't just self-serving)A copy of my partner’s home lease and utility bills (required by the credit repository to prove his legal address, so they can pursue him criminally if he steals data)Business phone bills (required by the credit repository to prove an actual business)2) Approval to use banking ACH system to accept tenant payments and pay ownersBusiness phone bills (required by banking industry to prove business legitimacy)A signed letter from the bank verifying our accounts (to prove legitimate business banking accounts.

I have little confidence in turnkey providers, deals are already hard to come by, if they take another 20% cut before.. much better to buy a property from an owner that is in good condition.

Im self employed, roughly make $130k gross anually, 1099 NEC , no debt at all, 740 credit score. 

You LP lost everything.Other ways, poor property management team isn't managing property well, and syndicator bought in tertiary market with only one or two managers available and no way to self manage.  

Scaling quickly, cash flow, appreciation, location/staying local, self-management, etc.
