Not because someone will put more hours than I have, but because I may not have enough time to put 100 hours physically.

Fractional sale of operations ≠ fractional sale of landMost people confuse these two.You can buy part of the business.You cannot buy part of the dirt unless it’s legally divided.Bottom lineBuying “10 pads” physically is almost impossible.Buying part of the park or the income is absolutely possible and very common.

@Christopher Tinelli  for student rentals use any opportunity when you physically meet the parents or tenants to clarify roles/responsibilities.

Financial considerations aside, you also have the risks that come with just physically beeing there.

Definitely don't overlook physical bulletin boards at the library, grocery store, or coffee shop; they still surprisingly generate leads here. 

They're documented by the property manager in the same system used to track all operational work on your unit.The verification step that seals it:After you complete the work and check out with the property manager, they should physically inspect the unit to verify and document what was actually done.The ledger entry becomes:• 3/18: Owner - deep cleaning between guests - 4.5 hours - PM verified: bathrooms, kitchen, floors, linensThis adds independent confirmation.You didn't just claim you cleaned for 4.5 hours.

Where to market theseThe rent-to-own websites are useless, you’re not wrong.The best traffic sources are still:Zillow (just label it “Rent-to-Own / Lease Option Opportunity”)Facebook Marketplace (strongest lead volume)Local FB buy/sell groupsCraigslist (still converts surprisingly well)Yard signs absolutely still worth doing for this nichePeople looking for lease options respond VERY well to physical signs because they often drive the neighborhood looking for opportunities.3.

They are up against a physical reality that they don't want to accept mentally.

On the physical building:Understand what you’ll need to replace and when.

You take physically distressed property, to market standards, for profit.
