Essentially the goal of the program is to allow a child to provide a place to live for their parent(s), whom would not be able to afford the home otherwise.

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of your screen and you can search for other MEMBERS or LOCAL MEETUPS.

You are allowed to set yourself up as well as you see fit, that's what I do for my clients who want to be an active investor. 

Build a Strong Team:Surround yourself with a reliable team, including a real estate agent, contractor, property manager, and accountant.

I have tried a few of those, Redfin is my direct competition in most of the Zips I works, they only had leads waaaay out in the rural areas/desert, for Ojo we really need to be on the paid platform for quality leads, still trying Upnest, Have had success with Agent Pronto, OP city only sent low end land and mobile home leads which are time burners in this market, Homelight only partners with a few big teams here, Clever is on the list to try, fingers crossed thats a good one for SoCal

Zillow does have a Price my Rental Tool that allows you to manually review rental comps in the area, and I highly recommend it when setting prices.

Cash flow is what allows you to not only have short term profit off your investment, but also provides the funds to do repairs, maintenance, etc on your property.  

You could offer to allow earnest money to become non-refundable after certain hurdles in the escrow process (inspection, financing, etc). 

This allows you to grant access to specific functionalities (e.g., adjusting thermostats, locking/unlocking doors) without giving full control of your smart home system.

If I was starting over, I would build my team in a different state that is more even keeled.
