I have liquid money but would like to not rely on (or use) that too heavily in the case of vacancies, unforeseen repairs and things like that until I can save for those types of events.

At first I thought no, because he brings the contracting to the table and has relationships with subs but, I've done the self prepared DM marketing campaigns, taking phone calls, building rapport with prospects to sellers, finding the deal, building our team (lenders, title, insurance) for the past 6 months, and did not get paid for any of that work.

I've wholesaled property in the past and I've learned to keep the purchase price + repairs + my fee around or under 65% of the ARV.

There was no option for me to do it from my phone.

Landlord tenant law and fair housing is enough to get most new investors to think twice...plus unless you have access to PM tools like screening services, MLS and other rental marketing sites, vetted leases, vendors to handle repairs...you should let a professional handle it.  

I pay them via paypal, venmo, walmart2walmart or some other form of online payments as projects are completed.I have a solid buddy take my calls via a team phone service routed through multiple call systems and he also views houses while I'm gone for a split of the deal.

Additionally, Bryan has always been reachable by text or phone.

He or she should know how to do many things and can save some money on repairs and turnover. 

He's very knowledgeable about construction and actually answers his phone and is very easy to get a hold of.

That way you can calculate what you need for ongoing expenses and repairs, but not have to keep it in cash reserve all the time.
