You're right, there is quite a bit more pressure to have a team when it's long distance.

One can argue that this could be the bait tactic, but no one is pressuring anyone, everything is perception.The deals that I was looking at was a ROI of 13% Y-O-Y.

If you have unlimited time, you could use a bit of that cash to finance a flip that will let you get the hands-on experience you want, but without the pressure of needing to flip it fast - you'd have your passive income portfolio as a backup so that even if you make every rookie mistake in the book on that first flip, you're not all-in on a high risk venture. 

If you like high blood pressure go for it.

I would speak with the property owner about whats going on and have him apply pressure to the daughter.

Don't just buy it to give in to pressure, buy it because you're excited and certain that it's a good investment.

I've met some incredible people who I am proud to call friends.Another advantage is the accountability that Ted mentioned before - pairing up with someone and reporting updates to a group will put a little bit of friendly pressure/fire under you to maximize your potential and not give up when you hit a bump in the road.
