I’m taking keywords out of the “legal advise” in previous threats...such as “I am not your lawyer”, which my gut tells me was code for “Since i’m not your lawyer i’ll tell you this, but if I was your lawyer i’ll tell you something totally different” :))Am I on the right track?

Here are some recommendations for you:Find and connect with other BP members that are in your area: https://www.biggerpockets.com/search/usersSet up keyword alerts to be notified of the topics that interest you: http://www.biggerpockets.com/alertsRead Beginner’s Guide: http://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-investingCheck out BP Podcasts: https://www.biggerpockets.com/podcastIf you wish to tag someone in the conversation on the forum, type @ followed by their name and then select the name of that person which should appear below the comments box.

It is not a passive investment in the truest sense of the phrase.

BiggerPockets is an excellent platform to utilize so I would recommend using the 'keyword alerts' function, 'search' function and lastly, stay active on the forums!

I recommend setting up keyword alerts for each area as they are discussed in the forums daily with advertisements posted in the BiggerPockets marketplace hourly.One thing to note when looking at the individual markets, you can make or loose money in any market.

I do not know your market, but if a good deal is tough to find, I would just have an agent scower or set keyword searches for any kind of "Distressed" listings and then when you find it just house hack it but certainly keep in mind that any sort of traditional financing, for the most part, will require that the property be in what's deemed "livable condition" Hope this helps and if I can ever be of any assistance or advice feel free to reach out to me!

Have your RE Agent phrase it in such a way that it is not the buyer requesting this, it is the loan product requiring it. 

(Key word: passive investor)  It will cost about $10K to get one written up.
