(3 hours total) Outside of that I think we have gotten 2 - 3 calls this year for repairs outside our monthly visit.We have also developed a relationship with a local handyman business.

A developer or large scale multi-family investor might have concerns that could be addressed by such a strategy, but I just don't see where the average investor who is conservative (buys smart/makes sensible profit projections) and diversified (not all the eggs in one basket) would need this kind of complex "hedge" for their investments.Your example is "a home" for a "sale close in 9 months" and that sounds like one big project and all of your eggs are in one basket.

Renting or buying these condos is also the cheapest way to get into the neighborhood - it's the only condo development, and all of the single family homes start at around 450-500k.

Is there a community development corp (CDC) for the neighborhood?

Additionally, as I enter phase II of life (the big "R" not too far off), I am in search of advice on good ways to build revenue streams from investment properties (single/duplex/ multi-family).

Ideally, I'd like to cash flow $40k in five years (still am developing my goals/strategies as I learn).Looking forward to your insight!

I would consider building a targeted website for the demographics you are searching for and then working with a web developer to SEO the site as much as possible.I would suspect though that networking will most likely bring you your biggest leads early on.
