The way how it works is you provide the funds to an automation company and they run a e-store for you on various platforms such as Amazon, Walmart, etc...

I'm looking across the street right now and see a neighboring three flat with an enclosed porch and door leading to the roof leading me to believe... it's possible.

Use a meticulous Housekeeper Checklist to make in-between-guest-cleanings easier and faster...even if it is YOU doing the cleaning. 3 - A very detailed, stern, honest, fair, gracious, and welcoming HOST who has the capability to run a tight ship through any storm.

I do agree that access to individuals like that would open doors and your mind to a world that you don't know.

This helps you build a solid network of acquaintances who may open more doors for you as an active investor.5.

Ask all these absentee owners if they are willing to sell me their doors for 30ct on the dollar.

No one wants 15 unit apartments built next door to their SFH.  

This is the same problem that my house hacker clients are running into in Colorado Springs. 3 and 4 unit homes will not pass the self sufficiency test for a 3.5-5% down FHA loan.

Just run search on Residential to create a fairly good-sized list of active listings, then look for the Realtor designation, or lack there-of, then note the brokerage name and contact info and contact them directly.If you are not concerned about discount CE credits, using certain features like RPR, or becoming a GRI, etc., then my guess is you will save a fair amount of money (my annual board fees were $620). 

@Lauren L PokladnikHey Lauren, we actually run into this type situation pretty often in San Diego, and seen people do it different ways.
