I also hope to have the flexibility to focus on a personal goal of non-profit work involving real estate at this stage.I look forward to conversing with all of you, including building a reliable and trustworthy network of colleagues.

Hi Daniel,Flipping in rural environments with limited comps is a risky move, so personally I wouldn't do it as the risk is too high.

@Shivam Patelno, not unless you're going to go there in person to set up a team. 

I have always personally shown the rental units to prospective tenants but am not always available. 

The ideal degree program will vary depending on personal preferences, professional aspirations, and intended real estate sector job.Good luck! 

The most suitable approach will vary based on how much risk you are willing to take, your financial status, investing goals, and personal preferences.Good luck!

Also how do you find lenders so that one can invest without their own personal money.

I wanted to ask the forum to hear personal experiences from those who have managed flips remotely themselves without a GC and how it went?

Personally, I would get the duplex.

Personally the hot tub is only a perk if we like the house so  as referenced here themed room and location win the day.hot tub is a blessing or a curse - either they are spotless or nasty and there seems to be no in between.We would never not rent a str because it did or didn't have a hot tub but if we had two similar places we would most likely book the property without the hot tub.
