There several great alternatives for you. 1) You could be the money side of the investment while someone else is the acquistion and development and management side. 2) You could be a Private Lender that holds Notes. 3) Or, you could do Commercial properties. 4) You could do new construction. 5) You could be an investor in a Syndication. 6) You could own REITS.

You have to figure out some way to get an advantage or develop a niche.

Ideally I would finance the rehab costs along with the house, and only pay interest while I do the flip.

Ideally if you can find one that still has exemptions on it, you'll be ok for the next 12-18 months.
