But it's not going to be a screamer probably ever.Bigger picture, my major goal is to build passive cash flow for the long term.

I'm sure people are doing this as BRRRR investors, I just seem to be unable to find the missing links of the process to put the whole picture together in my head.Thanks!

Our policy is to take 150-200 move in pictures and a full interior and exterior video.

I spoke to a few people, and one person said don't do it because of how far it is, they were worried about not being able to readily pop up and check on the property or contractors  because of the time of commute. here are some pictures

@Lisa Holloway  I think it really depends on what you want out of RE.If your just going to be a buy and hold you can basically do that one your own there is no mystery to buying rentals.. a really good RE broker will be all you need to help you, along with a decent lender.I think the latest craze is flipping ... either wholesaling or fix and flipping .. this is what is on TV and this is what get glamorized...And of course its probably just a tad glossed over that anyone can do this.. when in fact not everyone can.. just like not everyone can be a doctor or attorney or own a McDonalds etc etc.But are there rag to rich's stories from those that maxed out credit cards and made it .. you bet there are .. are there those that maxed out the credit card went home worked on it a few hours got some rejection and quit  you bet there is.I have seen it in the RE brokerage business.. the last 40 years.. this is a very tough business and it takes hard work determination and if your going to be in the flipping business usually some capital.And then many people have connections they can get private money they have deep pocketed family that will help them.. etc etc.And if I look at my 41 years in the industry I have paid far more than 40k for education licensing continuing ed.. travel to conferences etc. you have to invest in yourself and in your business.. there is only so many that can do this by reading books and on line and spend zero outside dollars to be successfulJust look at all the wanna bee wholesalers who run out there and spend thousands on direct mail when they have never taken one class in how to sell .. and really don't know how to close or what to do with the leads.. a good program up front would probably help many of those that flame out.. thinking it does not work.At the end of the day I personally believe you MUST spend some money on your education and further your business's .Look at top producing RE agents.. they have radio spots Bill boards with their pretty picture up there. all sorts of other paid advertising...

I am not sure how to do this deal since I am already in a working relationship with both parties.Do I just collect a option fee to put the deal together and get out of the picture  or is there a better way I should structure the deal?

Here is the experience that i had with Renatus. this will be a really long post since i want to make sure i paint the whole picture here based off of MY experience with them i know there will be people defending the company since i have seen it on all of the other threads and the have the right to but this is how it went for me.Disclaimers: 1.)

I'd also think about the risk involved with real estate investing, looking at the bigger picture.

You may need to wait for lease renewal time or new tenant before you can start charging them, but that shouldn't stop you from setting it up.You could even include a "service charge" to compensate you for your trouble of going out and checking the meter reading each month.... and then train your tenant to take a picture of it and send it to you to get out of the service charge.

As Rocky said, you can get deer cameras that text you a picture when there is movement.
