Also how do you find lenders so that one can invest without their own personal money.

I wanted to ask the forum to hear personal experiences from those who have managed flips remotely themselves without a GC and how it went?

Personally, I would get the duplex.

Investing in one asset class and 3 syndicators is like investing in delta, United and American AirlinesIf that asset class has a funk, then so do you.This is a personal preference for you - but owning real estate - especially a str is like running a new business and is not passive

However, the presence of personal items like clothes, a suitcase, and a pot on the stove inside the RV raised red flags.

If its a 2-4 unit you only need 15% down using a True Portfolio program and you have DSCR as a back up that uses the STR rents to qualify and avoid personal tax returns or income.  

You'll likely start to gravitate towards one type of investing based on your personality, then double down in that area.

Consider consulting with a real estate professional or financial advisor who can provide personalized guidance based on your specific situation and goals.
