Ideally, I would provide capital but also get exposure to the entire process from tape to exit.

@Hai Loc from the residential side buyers are pre approved and ready to go, but i'm seeing showings cancelled by sellers (especially owner occupants) who don't want to risk extra COVID-19 exposure.

You have to take risk at some point, but seems like avoiding long-term exposure is the best policy.  

The idea being to reduce their net exposure and curtail their losses.

Time to make a call to your Attorney, Insurance Agent, and Accountant.The LLC is a wise strategy to limit your exposure to a law suit. 

We will list the property with a Realtor to make sure the property receives maximum exposure.

So, I reduce that exposure to the three months where I can issue a Notice of Non-Renewal and find a better tenant it so necessary.Three months is long enough to see how well the new tenant plays with the existing other (it's a 6-plex) and to show there fidelity to paying on time.

You don't get any of the tax advantages of owning real estate You get the downward exposure to real estate in the falling real estate market And you also get the downward exposure to the stock market and equity markets when those go down.

They have options under 400k near the beach which is a good entry point for most investors to get exposure in a new marketplace. 

Or you can also further mitigate exposure buy making sure that all proceeds go into the first mortgage so you don't walk away with any funds at all.
