@Ian Frazier welcome to the site.It sounds as though you would benefit from being a "silent partner"You will not have a hard time finding people to do deals with you as long as you are able to deploy capital

Of the 24 homes I built at Rand rd.. the buyers were fromTexas,,, Seattle, Australia, Beverly Hill's, Bend, Portland, Tri cities WA. , SF, LA.. etc etc. and half paid CASH... so very nice deal.People come there for the out doors  its the wind surfing capital of the west and popular world wide.. along with skiing on Hood.. bikes Fishing boating etc.. pretty neat little area..

Oh boy- this is probably not a hill you want to die on, especially in CA. 

I bought a SFH in Richmond Hill, GA and sold it and made a little bit of profit. 

Millvale, Aspenwall, and Troy Hill are across the river from Lawrenceville and could be seen as up and coming.

Hi all i was curious on what you think the going rental rate in the Murray Hill neighborhood in Jacksonville FL is?

My property in Park Hill had a very large basement living room.

Black Mountain College, Shaw University, Brevard College, Lenoir-Rhyne University, and Mars Hill University to name the larger ones.

Then there's the view, it's high enough on the hill to look out over the whole valley.
