Personally if you use online platform, it’s the most passive but you learn the least

I take it that you are also endorsing this practice.

I have no practical experience in real estate investing. 

My nights and weekends have been almost entirely devoted to real estate over the past couple months as I am absorbing as much content as I can through BP, books, podcasts, etc. as well as taking classes online to earn my CA real estate license.I have to say I am a huge fan of the BRRRR strategy at the moment and would like to get into the buy and hold rental income investment arena...particularly with MFH investing.

I plan to offer a very discounted rate for incentive, allowing them to see how practical it is and how easy it makes their life!

Its just not practical and if someone is promising you more than that just make sure you are doing your homework and due diligence.

Does anybody use neighborhood scout when doing online research of an area while looking for rental properties?

Placing tenants is a THING, meaning posting online, showing this space to potential tenants, getting a ton of time-wasting texts, and then all the other activities pre/post tenant placement. 

I'm using cozy.co so it is all online. 

Is this the general practice in the area.
