One thing I'll add to an off-market deal is you might find a seller willing to do seller financing.You said, "I don't think the time exchanged to manage SFH would be worth my time and the cash flow most likely wouldn't be reasonable enough to hire a property manager.

-how is management split among you, PadSplit and any other third parties?

Seen that play a few times.. this whole sub to being taught to under capitalized or starter investors who don't know what they don't know and learn this on line is just so very dangerous.

Do they use pen and paper to record this information or do they have some sort of software to manage it? 

Congrats @Emily Pena - I'm also an agent (working mostly with investors), property manager and an investor myself (currently owning 26 rental units). 

You can be sued for anything at any time.

It only takes a few minutes to comply, and this way, you don’t have to worry about any decision they finalize on later.

Good luck in whatever decision you make!

Think of vehicles like the cyber truck where you need to sign up ahead of time to pre-order and so many people want it that the value increases shortly after they are released.

Maybe there's an angle for seller financing or some other creative approach to get the seller the total return they want over time, but it's hard to say without actual facts and data.
