Hey @Josh Ball, so unique for unique's sake could be hit or miss.

Time ManagementReal estate can consume all your time with endless tasks—client meetings, marketing, and paperwork.

I am currently living out of state so I have hired a property management company to handle this task, however, my home is still sitting vacant with very few prospective tenants.

Assuming:40 hours: W2 job56 hours: Sleep21 hours: Basic daily tasks= 51 hours potential REI time💡 Pro Tip: It's not about finding time; it's about allocating the time you have strategically.🎯 Your 6-Month Timeline:Month 1: Foundation (5-7 hours/week)Morning routine: 1 hour daily market researchEvening routine: Deal analysis practiceWeekend: BP forums & networkingKey Goal: Analyze 10 deals on paperMonth 2: Education (8-10 hours/week)Complete 1 RE courseJoin 2 local REI groupsSchedule lunch breaks with agentsKey Goal: Build your initial power team listMonth 3: Systems (10-12 hours/week)Set up deal tracking systemCreate document templatesEstablish banking relationshipsKey Goal: Ready to make offersMonth 4: Lead Generation (12-15 hours/week)Drive neighborhoods after workWeekend open housesSetup automated MLS alertsKey Goal: Generate first 5 qualified leadsNow, the Owners and Brokers you deal with may not enjoy this, but you can certainly "practice" making offers.  

I'm not sure how I would offer to do a specific job or task when I'm not even sure of the tasks that are typically needed to be done in a RE deal. im not sure if my question makes sense to others but hopefully i could get some advice on how to go about offering my services of time. thanks for you time! 

Meeting the material participation hours is absolutely doable, even with a property manager, as long as you stay actively involved in key tasks like marketing, bookings, and bookkeeping.

Are you both friends and have unique skill sets and are breaking up the duties of investing based on those skills?

Perform the same task in each app to ensure a fair comparison.Load a property with pictures and details.Market that property.See what your marketing looks like from the public's perspective.Submit a fake application to see how easy the process is.Run a credit/screening report on yourself.Enter a maintenance request, assign a vendor, and attach a fake invoice.Enter charges to the tenant's ledger.Enter recurring charges and automatic late fees.Sign documents electronically.Run owner reports.After testing a few apps, one should clearly stand out.

Every flip that I've ever done has been unique in some way, with unexpected happenings.
