If you invest in RE, whether active or passive(management team, syndications, crowdfunding), I'd love the chance to quickly explain the structure and hear your thoughts on what might need to be improved.

We understand that tax complexities can be challenging, but our experience shows that many of these barriers can be overcome with a strong local team.

What are the challenges of passive investing as opposed to traditional real estate investing? 

Challenges?

Plenty exist for private lenders (which is what seller financing is) and can track payments and am tables and also do automatic electronic withdrawal (ACH debit) which helps improve the likelihood of getting paid promptly each month.

You also have to be super detail-oriented, focused on continuous improvement regarding the property and guest experience, very in-touch with what it's like to be a guest at the property (and a cleaner of it as well), and focused on technological tools and opportunities. 

We added value by furnishing the property, added 2 decks (one for a solo stove, and one for a large hot tub), improved the gravel driveway, mulched the landscape, and added a lot of string lights.

However I did note that houses are mostly really old, e.g. 100 years or older... any idea if this poses challenges in things like lead paint presence, outdated wiring, rusty plumbing, etc., or have many of the homes already been updated?   

Also deleting duplicate posts, not sure how you could make it so duplicates self delete or don't post for those of us with tech challenges....

It is up to you to accept it, ignore it, or whatever else you want to do with the fact that what you are doing is not correct.What you do with that info is up to you.Don't come here challenging me to prove it.
