I have the ring camera with solar panels and a ring hardwired floodlight camera.I have ring cameras at 3 different properties in 2 different states. 

I want to find off-market properties.

Also see if you can pull up rental  and sold comps in the area using Zillow and Redfin and you have to give a   margin of error in their estimates and see if property appreciation is there for that area in case you are thinking of building equity.

You can try MyInvestorLoan.com, they usually don’t care if a property has a seller carry portion of financing in 2nd position. 

Are you thinking more turnkey properties or fixer uppers?

I have all my properties with American Modern and Allstate.  

Ideally, we'd love to find a duplex or multi-family property with the potential to live in and rent out.

I have local lending partners at the ready if you need a referral, one of whom can now finance beachfront condos and condotels with only 15% down instead of the typical 20-25%.I follow KeyData metrics for vacation rentals.  2024 has been a solid year for Myrtle Beach short-term rental owners. 

I want to present myself as the property manager rather than the owner.

If you manage homes built before 1978, there's a key regulation to be aware of: the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires property managers and Landlords Nationwide to be certified in lead-based paint handling.
