It doesn't sound like you have either.Tell us where you are and where you want to go, then we can provide directions.

I have a few connections in regards to off-deal properties not listed online. 

. - not a lawyer but I know someone in a similar position who acted as a private money lender (silent partner) on a rehab to generate passive income.You could also look into the many turnkey providers to sites like Realtyshares, Honemestors, etc who will provide you with a K1 for passive income.

That could be cutting a check or providing a place to stay. 

Thanks.just a side note, the tenant has requested first month free rental, windows coverings (not satisfied with the new blinds being provided), and free utilities for 5 days.

When the transfer happens, they should provide you with copies of the tenant records, tenant contact information, your owner records, spare keys, codes, etc.The PM should notify the tenant in advance that management is transitioning back to the landlord.

However to your point, using them for only a a few loans in a policy that wasn’t designed properly, wouldn’t be worth it.Most of the people who downplay it online, don’t explain the full picture unfortunately.

I opted to  provide my renters with a yoga mat, hand weights and the house pool is great addition to get some exercise! 

I may be parting ways with my current provider. 

This can provide you with more leads for less money.
