So, I've put that option aside for the moment and now I am looking out of state, specifically via turnkey provider companies that claim cash flow from day 1 and double digit ROI.

In this age of Internet and public records and ease of access, It's very difficult to stay off the radar.Everybody leaves a digital footprint somewhere.Here are some basic tools I use to find people.Free first:Whitepages/anywho/zabasearch/Google is the most underrated tool to finding a person.

But any smart investor is going to get double digit returns on their cash, which can be found many places including rental properties, my favorite.One thing we can agree on is that a 6 months cash emergency fund is critical.

A lot of great options out there for self-managing if you decide to go that route; aside from providing the basics (listing, tenant screening, digital lease creation, rent collection, and maintenance tracking) some services also offer your tenants additional capabilities which makes it an easier sell on your end when getting them to transition over (ie. their ability to report on-time rent payments to the credit bureaus).
