I'll go buy supplies for them all day, and I'll do progress payments as needed, but no way I am ever advancing a nickel.

My concern is that this house is not in the path of the greatest progress and may be difficult to resale if I need to sell it.

If you find that something like house-hacking is the most logical first step then you know exactly what you need to learn before starting (how to screen tenants, what areas are in the path of progress, etc).

Your presentation of your project will be the deciding factor to them.Investing long distance is only diffreent in that you don't have the luxzury of stopping by to check on the progress in person, but there are ways to check on it remotely.

Buy in the path of progress.   

I'll be following your progress on instagram too :)@Judy Best: Thanks for the Welcome!

Ill post some updates as I progress with it. 

It appears to me that it is misrepresenting tenant-landlord relations as an antagonist zero-sum game, which it is not, and that the result of the bill will to harm low-income tenants and make landlords pivot towards the provision of higher-cost housingWhat the bill terms as the “new” tenant rights start with an enumeration of anti-discrimination laws enshrined in the Civil Rights Act of 1866 to then “progresses” to protect the prospect’s source of income and eviction record.

We are a bit unique in that we have spent the last decade operating some of the largest REITs in the country (Waypoint/Invitation Homes, Progress Residential, American Homes 4 Rent, etc.) and take more of an asset management approach with our investors. 

I love looking back at the notes on deals like this and see how things progressed.
