I have have had some success there but reliability has been a big issue.Startup idea:1) Airbnb chewing up hotel industry  (anybody gets to be part time hotelier)2) Uber/Lyft chewing up taxi services (anybody gets to be part time driver)3) Rover chewing up kennel services (anybody gets to be part time pet sitter)4) Ebay/Amazon chewing up brick and mortar retailers (anybody gets to be a part time retailer)I need a platform where I can find part time property managers and by that I mean somebody who can show the property around.

Network with other investors as well as professionals in your area.

Your cashflow is most-likely going to be negative after you get hit with both property management fees that are additional to that are additional to the standard percent of rental income and you will get hit with many more additional costs because you are not hands-on e.g. management companies don't have the ability to inspect your property the same number of times as you for damages caused by tenants like when one of my out-of-state rental properties was being used for a huge dog kennel inside the home.When owning long-distance properties you often get hit with huge bills that can be avoided when you are  hands-on.

There don't seem to be many (or any) small multifamily in the Orlando area.

I spent 5 years on the ground in the Detroit area building relationships, learning the market, etc.So you really have two paths.

Hi All,I'm having a big dilemma and I'm looking for some solid advice from those of you who have built homes on open plots of land. Here's my situations:My mother has a land plot in Hayward CA and is presently worth ~...

They know what we look for in a rental and bring them to our attention, it's great.As far as the turnkey/network buying:PROS for BUILDER:  (1) Source of qualified buyers, often 1031 exchange buyers  (2) Builder knows what RE investors and renters want, builds to that standard -- floorplans, amenities -- no change orders to deal with  (3) Investors don't have the contingency to sale current home (4) Save on marketing time and costs, no open houses, flat referral fee to network, no agent/broker fees (5) I would think investors are easier to work with, less drama (that's speculation, lol)PROS for BUYER:  (1) Builder already vetted, although you're foolish not to do your own legwork  (2) Buyer's network has some clout, the builder doesn't want to mess up that relationship so more responsive (3) Usually other investors you can network within that market to vet the area, builder, the management company (4) Ease of transactionIn JAX/Ocala we've found  RWN affiliate quality is outstanding, good workmanship, desirable floorplans, quality granite, stainless. 

Long conversation, but here are the highlights:  "We need to get out of the extended stay hotel because the don't allow pets and our rottweiler has to stay at the kennel.""
