It all depends on what you are looking for and what your goals and objectives are.

I'm wondering if anyone out there knows the most efficient way to go about acquiring these in digital .pdf form with the least amount of hassle.Thanks for any help.

I like multifamily/apartment syndications and private funds as excellent ways to get high double digit returns passively while hedging risk by using professional management and investing across multiple assets. 

My objective is the Invest out of state since I have family all over Connecticut.

What is your main objective in doing this long distance investing? 

First position debt projected returns can range currently anywhere from 6% to low double digits, depending on how much risk you're willing to take.Crowdfunding is basically the same as syndications, but online.

In this example, let’s say their kid flushed some objects down the toilet that requires a plumber to fix.  

Of course, supply and demand can help drive the rents also.The data from all the sites might be a little soft if there are few rentals in a 1/2 mile radius, so it really helps to be objective when you compare your rental with others listed on various sites (zillow, trulia, hot pads, etc.)Good Luck Jacob and welcome to the clan!

The objective of the question is to expand my reach and get the most out of the money that I could that I may not realize or have experience in.

What are your primary investment objectives?
