This deal was referred to me by a good friend, which means having a great network of like minded people is extremely important.

One of our capital sources are smaller investors and people with money in IRAs that don't have the systems in place, the deal flow, or the underwriting expertise to run a portfolio.

I know many people have done it this way,  but two major parts I am concerned about are 1) how do you handle all the paperwork such as W2's, 1099's business records, etc. without meeting in person?

As I've been doing more and more deals over the years, and gaining more and more experience I been having people reach out about how they can invest with me on future deals whether it be Buy & Hold or Flipping.

This just covers the basics: how many people, do they have pets, what is their timeline for moving?

The current way is hire cheap foreig VAs to manually do it which involves finding, hiring, training, monitoring, managing, paying, keeping teams of people which is time consuming, expensive compared to automation and to some extent stressful.

It feels really unethical.Your comment: "I got a call from my attorney"I'm curious, since you have legal representation that you are presumably paying for, why are you asking people you don't know, who aren't there, haven't seen the paperwork, don't know the local laws or the situation, instead of asking your attorney?

just staying totally away from politics, state laws, etc. for a second - just forget that, as that is not my point and that is not why i'm bringing it up - BLUF: Texas is building houses for people to live in, and CT isn't.

I’m especially interested in value-add opportunities where I can renovate and increase equity.I’m here to learn from experienced investors, connect with like-minded people, and share my journey along the way.

Simply listing it on Airbnb will not generate leads if people are looking at the big name places 40 mins away.
