Most are professional interactions, and I've found several passive investors this way.

They must be protected from the elements by using stucco or siding covered with paint to protect it.

If the property manager complains remind them  they chose the tenants and choose how they manage and interact with them. 

I looking forward to interacting with the community and helping others along the way.Cheers!

Ill be bringing the other two elements of the deal, the knowledge and hustle.

I am only going to interact in parts of the operation.

Not only does that complicate the lease a lot, but it also reduces the peer pressure element if one of them wants to go somewhere else.Second, double check your location to see if you can charge more than 1 month's rent as a security deposit and under what situations. 

The environmental elements I endure in the northern rocky mountains of Montana are my biggest challenges.

Just keep up on the paperwork and time elements in the deal! 

I also managed the interactions with our long term renter and handled the issues that came up at rental unit.
