There are not any physical barriers stopping either gender from investing in real estate.

Didn't even charge as long as I didn't want the physical paper.

Not a lot of work on your part except finding a syndicator you like.If you want to have physical properties then I would first start with how much money you have then based on that number look for a market where you can buy 1 maybe even 2 homes.

Since I was mentally 'full time' but physically splitting my time with my previous full time business for over a year after licensing, it took me 9 months of hustling, training, learning, offering, etc until I closed my first deal.

Do they operate out of a physical location, how long have the been in business, and of course any online reviews I could find. 

Go to tax lein auctions 1st Tuesday of ev month nation wide...anybody and ev body there...tons of contacts and folks buying property most do need help to flip...ck it out...call tax assessors office in your county...see https://www.pbfcm.com/taxsale.html

If the tenant needs to serve you official notice of your failure to maintain the home or they want to sue you for falling down the stairs, they need a physical address within the state to serve that notice to.

Do they require a physical inspection to draw?

I spend nearly nothing on maintenance, only the odd toilet leak etc, the rest the body corporate (HOA) or tenant cover.

Really, what I'm trying to get at is whether an easement legally is more about the utility of something versus the physical space that the easement occupies...and whether an average judge would view it that way.
