There are many ways to invest in a truly passive nature and make low double digit returns with a relatively low downside / capital protection through note funds, etc.

@Troy NorwoodIt is a felony to broker properties unless:1 you are licensed2. you own the property3. you have equitable interestwe have some scammers that routinely advertise properties that are not in these categories. 

I have heard their advertisements. 

I'm an advertising project manager by trade; and I believe my experience managing timelines, budgets and expectations could prove to be extremely beneficial managing fix and flips.

If you advertise that as part of your criteria hopefully you can find a tenant with verifiable payment history.

So you can advertise on Zillow, Craiglist your self.

Digital Federal Credit Union (DCU) will do up to 70% on NOO properties for an Fixed Rate Equity Loan they were having a no closing cost special too.

If buy rewarding his tenants $25 or even $250 annually he saves possibly $3000 or more on turn over, which could cost months of profit, repairs, advertisement or tenant placement fees he would not be "giving money away".  

I have thought about Signs, Facebook Advertisement, Craigslist, etc..

There is also a reason that it is so publicly advertised how much is spent.
