You could provide a license to work or another legal instrument for the project to proceed, but physically close only when you are ready to complete the exchange.

The claims of 1hr to collect rent, produce receipts, and deposit checks also seems like a reasonable claim if done physically and not electronically.

You should go to the inspection physically, but your property manager should handle most of the on site stuff. 8-12% for PM.

I currently do not have any money in the market.I’ve been weighing my options for investing for retirement and wanted to hear from others who are solely relying on physical real estate, or those who also have investments in the stock market.I guess my question is this: Based on this information, is it worth me maxing out a roth IRA or should I just focus on my business and real estate?

I am going to get into this industry as a career switch which is scary but I am confident in my drive, transferable skills, and ability to break down barriers.
