The hype around this industry right now is simply that certain companies have taken the model online and are building technology around it to make it more efficient.

With advancement in technology, many of the systems you will inadvertently have to build can leverage on technology, giving you some control.

I dropped the ball on just about every aspect of property management in the beginning which cost me a lot of money...

etc...etc....in my JV deals I like to take control of ALL the above aspects. 

I just want something  in place that covers every aspect of what I do in writing. 

Less time to build up your investments and less time to recover if/when mistakes are made.You won't be able to swing a hammer like you could in your 20s, so you may need to be more hands off in certain aspects, but never totally hands off.Strategy:Because of the pros and cons above, you may wish to focus more on cash flow than appreciation, especially if you will need this cash flow to live off of.

I would look up the deed online, and maybe have your title company/closing agent run a preliminary title search to see how it looks under the hood.Obviously, transitioning from a maiden name to a married name is a common occurrence and your closing agent would know how to handle that aspect - It would probably be verified with her marriage license or similar documentation.

(So maybe new technology=new right way).

I would just make sure that you think through and discuss all possible aspects.

I have my real estate broker’s license but my primary job for the past 20 years is in the technology industry.
