You're right, there is quite a bit more pressure to have a team when it's long distance.

If you have unlimited time, you could use a bit of that cash to finance a flip that will let you get the hands-on experience you want, but without the pressure of needing to flip it fast - you'd have your passive income portfolio as a backup so that even if you make every rookie mistake in the book on that first flip, you're not all-in on a high risk venture.

Social pressures still hold true, and no one wants it to get out to their friends and family that they were the problem tenant, destructive tenant, or deadbeat tenant. 

Does anyone know of a good example of a contract I could have them sign to keep the pressure on them to make the payments?

Also, when I see an agent pressuring me to purchase an existing strip mall over purchase land, is that mainly because there is greater commission for agent?
