If you don't wish to (or have the time to) roll your sleeves up and do some grunt work I would just stick to traditional investing.

.- You close on December 10th- The property is in great shape and does not need any significant repairs- It only needs some paint touch-up and changing a couple of broken fixtures, which you do yourself- You spend the next week buying furniture, electronics and supplies and installing/arranging everything yourself- You also roll up your sleeves and scrub the toilets and sinks and appliances- You put it on AirBnB/VRBO and have your first guest renting it for the 3 days of Christmas- You second guest rents it for the following weekend and leaves before NYE- You personally clean and restock the place between these two guestsCongrats!

If he really wants to "roll up his sleeves", he can scout properties in your community (or on the internet) and get paid a "commission" if he finds one of your investor-friends in Omaha to buy it (aka, acquisition fee/finder's fee).

Aside from using social media and content, make sure to "put yourself in the right rooms with the right people" and don't be afraid to roll your sleeves up with some good networking.

Obviously still A TON of things to learn but I'm hungry and willing to roll up the sleeves, learn from mistakes, and do the extensive research/financial analysis needed.

I'm curious how many properties you're working on at once where you need to jump in and roll up your sleeves.

I just got my interest peaked in my crazy online search for and affordable real estate investment but haven't the slightest clue as to if I should even begin to peruse just for informational purposes or actually roll up my sleeves and go for it.

It takes hard work, so roll up your sleeves!

Hopefully he has also seen you deliver at work, and your willingness to roll up your sleeves and take on a task, without hesitation.many potential investors show up at meetups but fail to follow through or even have a plan.I'd suggest you take this further by developing a business plan and goal setting.
