I share the properties between the providers and can gauge their performance and price.The responses are great and they cover items within the infrastructure such as AC/heater,electrical, plumbing, garage door etc.If there is anything uncovered that needs to be fixed, my broker connects me with local handy men or professionals to take care of those issues.One of the providers, https://www.ahs.com/ charges $75 per call. 

Problem was the tenants never stayed long enough for the investment to truly perform like it should.

Maybe i should have worded it differently, i'm not sayin this is an easy task by any means. 

It seems like all plans being pitched can be described as diversify into the stock market & mutual funds, or buy annuities and pay someone 1% of my net-worth annually regardless of performance.

I would highly discourage contacting them frequently if you don't have business to perform, as this could cause you to be ignored and labeled as a waste of time.

I love the idea of offering my time to perform open houses for other agents in my market in order to practice my communication with clients, build my own leads list and just to get my name out and network.  

My question is how do they perform the due diligence to check out a property to determine if it is a worthwhile investment ?

I'm looking for someone to help with data analytics, quickbooks reconciling and such, CRM management, transaction coordination, and basically any other task I can outsource. 

Larger properties create economies of scale that can result in higher yields and more stable cash flow.Returns: It's not uncommon for investors to make a better return being passive than they would have if they took the plunge themselves.Direct access: Unlike traditional investments, passive real estate investment offers direct communication with the people responsible for the performance of your investment and the properties themselves.Tax benefits: Investors can receive significant tax advantages that come with ownership of real estate, such as depreciation.

I will be redoing some things so will need new permits.So there have been no permits for the work performed so far?
