Farming out the underlying technology just makes sense. 

How difficult is it to remove (along with the old controller)?

If you haven't done a deal before, you will have difficulty attracting passive investors.

@Rick Baggenstoss  Just a heads up - I believe Youtube TV has technology that may prevent you from using it at multiple locations. 

Rather than risk legal difficulties by trying to wholesale using purchase agreements with various "subject to" escape clauses, why not avoid these issues altogether by executing an option agreement with the property owner instead?

If you don't use proper legal notices and serve them correctly, then you will likely have difficulty if this goes to court.What's the situation?

A good insurance policy should cover enough.With an LLC, you may also have difficulties getting mortgage with best interest rates available compared to non-corporations individuals. 

Don’t get too crazy here though, volume of properties may be limited, might not be able to find duplexes, remodel costs, holding costs, and difficulty finding funding can alter these numbers.

The difficulty will be catching it every time it pops up again - I don't know that Craigslist is particularly proactive about that kind of thing (I don't know that they'll ban accounts or anything like that - and even if they did, it's super easy to make another one).The sad fact of the matter is that fraudsters like this are common, and to the best of my knowledge the only way to fight this particular activity is to keep an eye on Craigslist and flag listings when they appear.You may also consider writing up a BEWARE OF FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY post to post in the VR section of CL, and explain what happened and that people should use extreme caution when booking direct via Craigslist - they should only go through booking platforms like AirBNB/VRBO to protect themselves.  

However, I am having some difficulty making the numbers work from a cash flow standpoint initially due to the terms of these loans.
