I also hope to have the flexibility to focus on a personal goal of non-profit work involving real estate at this stage.I look forward to conversing with all of you, including building a reliable and trustworthy network of colleagues.

@Shivam Patelno, not unless you're going to go there in person to set up a team. 

I have always personally shown the rental units to prospective tenants but am not always available. 

In general, this forces the person inheriting the property to sell.  

Also how do you find lenders so that one can invest without their own personal money.

Not only that, partner with experienced investors who can partner with you on these deals- Usually it's a personal preference on which market to choose.

Estimated Market Value: $290,000 to $330,000One of the most satisfying aspects of this investment is that the duplex is now operating at break-even, and we managed to secure it at a 10% discount below market value, showcasing the value of strong relationships and strategic decision-making in real estate investing.This deal exemplifies the importance of being adaptable to market conditions and leveraging existing networks to uncover hidden gems in the real estate landscape.

I wanted to ask the forum to hear personal experiences from those who have managed flips remotely themselves without a GC and how it went?

Personally, I would get the duplex.
