@Michael PlanteCurrently the motive for sharing profit would be to ensure they find a deal that they personally believe is great.

@Spencer Herrick like most of the folks said here, it's about your team and being sure you have a solid due diligence process in place...no need to see a property in person if the property meets all the criteria on your due diligence checklist...the first 35 checklist items are crossed off in the first 3-days of due diligence...One thing you have to remember is almost every existing and new structure in the country was built by a professional developer that met strict requirements set by building codes...properties can have issues, but almost anything can be fixed...overall SFR and MF homes are incredibly durable.
