Analyze this with him and then 2) have him start bringing you properties that he has run numbers on, in a serious spreadsheet, have him sell you like he was your partner.When you think he's ready and has saved at least some money for a DP, help him get started with a little loan/gift.

Primarily interested in long distance markets due to prices in my area (San Diego/California).At a stage where I am evaluating my savings versus the upfront costs to get into a STR property.

If so would anyone have ideas on how to secure it when there's nobody on site?

Would love feedback/further ideas of what people are seeing or hoping for:What's Next in DSCR?

I would recommend checking out Furnished Finder and Airbnb/VRBO for 30+ days stays to see what else is in the market and get an idea of what they are renting for.

This will save you time and money if the new GC can be briefed on the in progress work.

I can't see how keeping track of all of those accounts would save time or make your life simpler. 

Start saving as much as you can.

(You act as the bank)Charitable giving to offset gainsTransfer the home into a trust (Like a CRT for example) that will avoid capital gains tax and you can have pay you a set income stream until your death and the remaining funds would go to charity.None of this is or possibly could be advice, I don't have enough info to fully know what is "best" but these are some ideas to think about!

Hey Bud,Educate yourself as much as possible while you save.
