Long term rentals have the least amount of interaction required, but short term rentals (AirBnB, etc) have higher profit margins - but require a lot more attention (some companies charge 30% for management and the daily turnover service, for instance).I would suggest you compare your potential rates of return from real estate with other investment vehicles.  

On our home page lendingwise.com you can take an interactive demo of the system:  Product Tour

@Chris Burchsee this threadhttps://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/49/topics/678...same thing as yours guy hits me on BP.. i new he was a fake first e mail.. but I wanted to see where it would go.. so that i could post the real time interaction for BP members.. if a conversation goes anywhere near what is in my post its 99% fake.I have been in the lending business for 4 decades I looked at CI to list our lending products ( very niche) it cost money and i just did not get a good vibe for the whole thing.. all these lead source you know pay 2k for this super secret software that is going to put all these distressed assets in your lap.. well that simply does not happen.. finding distressed assets is expensive time consuming endevour.. the guys and gals i know that do it . 

If your interactions here are intended to help with business development, you might consider a different tone and mindset. 

These forums are typically more interactive and focused on discussions rather than long-form posts.Thanks for understanding!

He is anticipating a contract in the next quarter or two; however, not guaranteed.  

If your looking to continue build your portfolio with little interaction with tenants and not deal with issues throughout the lease,I would go with a PM.

They do partner with a company for bookkeeping, that I passed on after my interactions with them.  

I would still consider 0% for 50% of the deal but maybe not 70% - you have to run the numbers and see what your anticipated profit is and is it better once you factor in risk to give up equity or get a loan - and what would that loan need to be to be beneficial.So if you give up 50% - If i did a 15% loan I am still better with the loan?

Was updated quarterly, but we've concentrating on creating an interactive map that would be updated monthly.
