I share the properties between the providers and can gauge their performance and price.The responses are great and they cover items within the infrastructure such as AC/heater,electrical, plumbing, garage door etc.If there is anything uncovered that needs to be fixed, my broker connects me with local handy men or professionals to take care of those issues.One of the providers, https://www.ahs.com/ charges $75 per call. 

Problem was the tenants never stayed long enough for the investment to truly perform like it should.

It seems like all plans being pitched can be described as diversify into the stock market & mutual funds, or buy annuities and pay someone 1% of my net-worth annually regardless of performance.

I would highly discourage contacting them frequently if you don't have business to perform, as this could cause you to be ignored and labeled as a waste of time.

I love the idea of offering my time to perform open houses for other agents in my market in order to practice my communication with clients, build my own leads list and just to get my name out and network.  

No need for me to set up third party to collect the mortgage ?

My question is how do they perform the due diligence to check out a property to determine if it is a worthwhile investment ?

I could learn a lot that i could use towards doing BRRR's and just general maintenance of rental property to save money.3) my third option would be find a job somewhere in real estate.

You can also terminate without the need for a Notice of Default and Opportunity to Cure if when the second similar default in six months has occurred, or when there has been the third default of any kind in twelve months. 

Larger properties create economies of scale that can result in higher yields and more stable cash flow.Returns: It's not uncommon for investors to make a better return being passive than they would have if they took the plunge themselves.Direct access: Unlike traditional investments, passive real estate investment offers direct communication with the people responsible for the performance of your investment and the properties themselves.Tax benefits: Investors can receive significant tax advantages that come with ownership of real estate, such as depreciation.
