@Michael Ealy, for me the most passive investments in real estate are investing via a syndicate.

Reg A allows the issuer to advertise, meaning that they could recruit investors from the general public via marketing, and the regulators want to protect unsuspecting investors from unscrupulous operators--so a limit on how much those investors can invest might protect some folks.But the Reg D 506(b) exemption prohibits advertising--meaning that it is generally thought that investors aren't cold leads from a billboard, instead they are people who might have a pre-existing relationship with the sponsor, or is friends with other investors and so on. 

This allows you to directly manage transactions via the LLC and eliminates the paperwork, processing delays and per-transaction fees of the custodian.

You agree to pay the monthly rent indicated above via deposit to the following checking account at BANK: account # 123456; routing # 123456  (nearest branch is 123 Main Street, Albany, NY).

I'd also suggest you checkout John Smart's, aka Smarty, Meetup via the Meetup website.

It's those maniacs that buy homes cash via quit claim deed off of craigslist that really get screwed.Make sure your property manager is a licensed real estate brokerage.Google Clayton Morris and/or Morris Invest for a cautionary tale of what not to do when buying turnkey real estateUnderstand you can not eliminate all risk, only mitigate it.

I have found credible firms in my current area and online but would do any consulting via video calls or the phone.

Nice work saving 11k but I would be hesitant to empty my cash position entirely via FHA financing to get into a property.
