Next lure in novice investors with promises they can replicate your success with little or no money when in actuality all you have to do is teach them how to buy low barrier single family homes and they will be appreciative because they don’t know any better :) All jokes aside, if you want to mentor/ coach obtain a real estate license and help investors purchase investment properties as you continue to learn the business.

But I also want to be able to change door codes remotely, and unlock remotely if someone is having trouble.

They knew the laws, they corresponded with the tenants, and they sent notices and evictions.Did it cost money?

@Anna Cherubini most free systems will only offer bare bone options.Most of the systems that cost money do allow daily charges.

Personally, believe other people's money should be protected before my money. 

Maybe you can be the deal-finder/house-hacker and they can be the money/qualification side. 

I thought that maybe paying cash, I won't have to worry about mortgage and just reserve money for property tax, insurance and future home repairs. 

Typically private lenders won’t you CJ long periods of time unless it’s astronomical Interest as money is constantly devalued and $100k today vs 20 or 30 years from now will seem the money essentially worthlessOnly reason it works for banks is because the money they lend actually doesn’t really exist they make it up due to fractional reserve lending

As an example, I had a resident call me for bail money at two in the morning.

So if I sell the bare land and use the 100k as a down payment on a duplex I basically need to come up with another 100k of my own money to match the down payment if I’m going to live in one half of the duplex?
