Selling property for top dollar is not as simple as putting it online.

Look into markets with steady growth and affordable prices, like Indianapolis, Kansas City, or Chattanooga.You can build your team remotely by contacting property managers, realtors, and contractors online, though meeting in person can help strengthen relationships.Focus on your strategy (buy-and-hold, BRRRR) and use platforms like BiggerPockets to learn and connect with others.

I am looking to create content online to document my journey, educate others, and market.

I am glad you landed in a safe location at least temporarily. 

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

Join local meetups or online groups (here on BiggerPockets, Meetup.com, other other local REIA are the good ones).

Thought it was a safe first investment, instead of flipping or fixing with no prior experience.

This must be very unfortunate for the investors because they had only sourced 70% debt so 30% of the equity from investors went poof..Re: threat of legal letter, personally I would post that online and say "wow, see the response I finally get"...

I understand equity and cash-flow are related, but what I mean is that I don't need the cash flow right now as much as I'd like to build a strong portfolio that can cash flow even more later on.I've owned a single-family rental for 4 years, but on mulitple fronts I felt like I've done a poor job self-managing it, so this Fall I picked up the Turners' book on managing rentals and that's what led me here to Bigger Pockets online.

the market is unforgiving right now, and if you buy a random property by looking on Zillow and turn it over to people you don't know to manage, you'll lose money.with respect to your specific question, if the property is safe, clean, and priced correctly, it will rent. but that doesn't mean you'll make money on it.
