Feels like there's a soft agreement between this couple and the owner.I spoke with all other tenants privately and they seem to be very happy with the current non-property-manager.I like the idea of resident lawn care, but am concerned about legality of a resident property manager (I'm new to this and not ready for employees on a small triplex).

But you will need to take time in learning the note business and how to choose notes wisely and what to do if they become non-performing.Being a debt investor in large syndicated deals could also be more passive and if you get into a good one you could get a pretty good return of 10% or more.
