Bigger Pockets has some great state forums and usually there are good locals that monitor those.

We don't have any infrastructure currently setup, however we are now exploring our "competitive advantages" that are in market like personal friends and family who can help us with identifying good contractors, lenders and agents, etc.

Also be aware that there are a lot of upfront expenses in development including site plan, engineering, infrastructure, etc.

Just to give an short term rental owner point since there is a lot of fact-less, miss information, emotional and fear driven arguments going around.As a short term rental owner we abide by the current ordinances and laws (yes even parking), pay all the appropriate taxes btw yes we do pay state and local occupancy taxes just like hotels do also, we also actually pay about triple the property taxes that a normal home owner does for the “privilege of renting our own property”, we take better care of our properties than most property owners around us, clean and maintain our properties weekly, we screen the people we put in our propeties also (my felony neighbor that moved in next to me I have no control over btw).We have systems in place to monitor our propeties 24/7 like video and in fact have even had other neighbors come to us asking for our help and video coverage for unrelated issues on their property.We actually enjoy meeting the different people that stay in our properties and even had a CBS reality show filmed at one of our properties recently.As an owner the only real negative experience I have had is from the folks that think they have to right to tell me what to do with my property.Do we have an occasional guest that thinks they don’t need to follow the rules of course but we handle it just like I would think you of any guest that comes in your home.

Well, let me at 'em, just let me at 'em, those commie hackers taking down my infrastructure to BP!

By the way, I realize it is not entirely passive but I have several rental properties of my own and I will be able to monitor the investments properly.

If it's more the latter, nothing is going to help you unless you invest and repair your infrastructure. 

We were definitely monitoring things daily especially since we had a 3-family flip of ours close on Monday.

I am working with a partner in Silicon Valley to develop a computer vision based security and monitoring system for multi family properties.

Look at the weather, look at the terrain, look at the crumbling infrastructure, look at the perennially impoverished 100% old-union-town Democratic political machine.
