Private/hard money?

Removed a pool it will cost a lot of money also. 

@Rob Carmody, if they did work for you even if if there was no specific agreement about the cost you probably owe them money for that.

an advantage might be something like:-used to live there and know it well-it's close by-have friends and family there-like to vacation there / want to own a second home thereif i were you, i would pick a market you can go to in person often, or at least in the beginning when you can look at properties and set up your team. 

I have learned that personally over the years 

I haven't heard much from those interested in syndicating, although there are hard money lenders among the members, as well as members who would qualify as accredited investors.

Bring in more money by charging extra rent and taking care of it yourself.

You must make money somehow?

But none qualifies with just one person’s income. 

There's a new era in big money college sports thanks to the changes in NCAA rules in compensation for athletes name and likeness usage.
