That's interesting since Zillow bought Trulia in 2015.However, Trulia claims 65m unlisted home estimates and Zillow claims 110m.Both algorithms are supposedly based on physical characteristics, location, and recent sales.Zillow also correlates its Zestimate forecasts in with the ZHVI forecast for the ZIP / County / State.My best guess is that Zillow's numbers are more swayed by the general area and Trulia's are more based on the property itself.

Rental income on the other hand, will/should come every month, with a lot less physical effort.If you have trade skills, I would advise you to buy a 1-4 unit which needs some work... fix it up/add value... rent it... then refinance into long term debit.

I  was more looking for suggestions on how I mite help out someone with out physically picking up a hammer or investing my money in a project?

I work full-time and spend little time in physical properties.

In Arizona you can take them to small claims court...but I had to physically file the papers.   

Seems that this can end up being expensive if you fly out every time you buy a property, isn't that the point of building a team, so you do not have to physically see the place? 

As far as physical offices they don’t have any which is why they can offer a better split and lead gen tools and stock incentives etc .

Then, you can purchase a virtual mailbox or UPS address to use as the official, "physical" business address. 

Wholesaling requires A LOT out of you both mentally and physically.

I'm thinking of investing long term, I would just like to get an idea of what others are using when not physically present.
