For my situation being away from home so often(I'm a Michigan resident), this would still allow me to participate in real estate but be diversified beyond a syndication.

I experienced problems trying to set up my Relay bank account.

For example; 80% of my business is servicing investors seeking vacation rentals where less than 1% of listings can qualify for a vacation rental permit.

If I had to choose, I would lean towards option 1, I like the idea of having a dedicated person that at least knows my name and is familiar with my properties and can help "keep an eye on them".

BP rent estimator has been rather accurate in my searches.  

I'm Val, I'm a full-time therapist, part-time photographer and everyday creative looking to translate my skill set into house flipping and landlording.

@Patti RobertsonI am trying to do a double close using my own funds.

Purchase price: $250,000 Cash invested: $50,000 Mixed use building in Brooklyn that my family has owned for more than 25 years.

The interiors are not as nice as my Tempo Homes by Clayton but the financing is a game changer.

I live in Virginia and usually only pay around $250 per window for replacement in my flips.
