I have thought about Fundrise (medium success when I invested there), Crowdstreet (I have not invested there but might consider), farmtoghether (20k invested there already) and groundfloor (bad experience so not looking to invest there).Any advice will be appreciated.There is no greater wealth than peace of mind - Buddha - I have both directly owned real estate and passive investments in my portfolio.And if you're an accredited investor, then you have many options for investing in real-estate passively (and that don't involve all the stress of direct management nor putting money into public markets...which tend to be much more volatile).

Add to that the fact that private financing typically involves way less bureaucracy, with reduced paperwork and fewer hoops to jump through.

My take is that a Host should be personally involved as much as possible.

We’ll find a way to get ppl with varying schedules involved.

You are right 100% Owen, the landlord will be listed as additional interested party NOT additional insured.

Use STR-specific insurance to protect both parties and automate operations with platforms like Airbnb, TurnoverBnB, and PriceLabs.Taxable income from the STR must be reported, but you can deduct related expenses like cleaning, utilities, and furnishings.

.: Lastly, I believe the web of involvement extends to many other financial parties as well. 

Quote from @Patrick Roberts: Echoing what Chris said - use a third party servicer.

I'm doing quite a bit myself but the cast iron part is a job bigger than I can handle.Any recommendaitons for rough-in plumbers in NJ and willing to travel about 15 miles outside of Newark?

Problem comes when you get party animals.
