i.e. sites like Fundrise where you can invest your money without being hands on.

They are officially underwater.No way would I as an investor pay them a $1575 down payment.

I looked into Buildium per recommendation from this site and because it offers residential and commercial properties (which is needed).

The official zoning is C-RS (commercial rural service) but as the home was built is 1919 so it is existing, non-conforming and can be used as a SFH or commercial business.

I am a student in university, fairly new to REI and busy learning about my local market where I plan to invest.I am in the process of saving for loan down payment since I aim to first acquire a rental or more ideally do a house-hack when I am able to qualify for a loan (I have not researched private lending yet - any tips would be welcomed for financing options).I have a semester break coming up in which I hope to go out and get a feel for the Cape Town market - open to anything.

This article might be helpful, but isn't considered 'official legal advice' https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/handling-t....What I would do depends on what stuff is in the apartment.

Your advice so far definitely has me on every real estate site and google working hard to figure out how to best go about this.

As for 2 beds apt, I’d rather go fOR a large complex with on site management.

No work was done while I was “officially” the GC.

Loved all the insight I have read on this site.
