Hi Yael,If you are willing to pay, no harm in getting it reviewed by a lawyer.

It’s not that it can’t work out, but first you need someone you can trust… I’ve seen many a person scammed by someone they partnered with.  

Establish a local network of trusted professionals, such as a handyman, plumber, electrician, and a local real estate attorney who can address urgent issues promptly.

Each one you own gives you some quantity of positive cash flow, plus tax write offs, plus mortgage pay-down / equity gain.  

You find out up front if they have any cash or not, vs burning 30-45 days to find it appraises at your listing price, and they don't have the cash to close.Get a VA checklist from one of your trusted lenders and make sure everything in the house meets the checklist. 

This money can used by the Landlord to pay their mortgage, set away reserves for structural and roof capital expenditures and most importantly, put money into their pocket.

Before I moved down to Florida full-time, I used to rent my house in Largo for half the year on Airbnb/VRBO to help pay the mortgage when I was not here.

This is really something you or someone trusted would need to oversee in person. 

I'm willing to pay for the information, templates, etc, but agree there's a lot out there and hard to determine the quality of any of them. 

And then I'm keeping the smaller ones and doing some bigger ones (3bedroom 2,000 to 2,400 sq ft) that will remain as holds.Keep in mind that as a builder my cost basis is better than people paying retail.
