For a hands on investor it can be a goodwill gesture to bring blankets and water and check on your tenants and the property.

Adelson is something like #22 of the world's richest people or maybe richest in USA, just bought some big plots to probably build one of the worlds largest casinos....interesting as we don't allow casino gaming yet.

You can vet them and determine who is the best fit for you Regarding the loan question check for some properties that are willing to do seller financing.

For local connections I’d recommend checking out the RI Real Estate Investors Group.They meet once a month in person for members and with another virtual meeting each month open to non-members too.I’ve been a member since 2003 and generally found it worthwhile.

Check out my personal favorite, Set For Life by Scott Trench , or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey.3.

Any guidance & advise is appreciated :) Check with a lawyer.

Checking the court records and driving by these homes after they have sold nearly everyday afterwards you can see the U-Hauls and very quickly determine that it was purchased by an owner-occupant.

Have them shadow you consistently and check in with them.
