I know getting investors is the obvious solution but the people I know I feel like don't have money or want to invest with me because it's my first deal and I am not proven yet. 

And note that your strategy/solution will depend on how much equity they have.

It seems the 99% safe solution would be to use property management.

@Taylor Jennings  Scenario 1: looks like the easiest solution and the least stressful. 

Being an investor often requires you to find solutions--to sellers' problems, to your investment strategy, to management, etc.  

Tony,There are many landlords sitting on big chunks of equity and with enough down they would privately finance the first position note for you.You have to be clear with them upfront that you still want a DEAL.In other words for financing they WILL NOT expect to stick it to you on above market rates and loan terms.A better solution is maybe to put 10% down and have the seller hold a short term 15% second.You just have to find the right seller at the right time.For some it's not all about the money as they have a ton already.Instead it's about selling for an okay price and getting rid of the landlord headache so they can do the things they want in life.The balance of time and money is hard.Many have a bunch of time but no money and then many have a bunch of money but no time.Hitting that sweet spot is the hard thing to do.

Here's the other solution I was referring to in the other thread:124710204080160210

I know I'm not providing too much detail, but wanted to see what other people thought that might be in my shoes.What is my solution, payoff the mortgages, but that is easier said than done, right?

She even ordered a Doppler device that shows up today to help monitor the situation.

I'm in the middle of building something like that to meet my own needs and would love your feedback as to what you're looking for in a solution.
