I could probably list out skills that I have, except they pertain mostly to repairing the body on cars.

What it comes down to is that my "disciples" can actually raise money from their warm market and they can use those same skills to reach out to banks and asset managers on a regular basis to find other deals.  

If you wish to continue down this route with using passive investors, you should definitely connect with a group who does this type of transaction regularly for guidance.

And I've had a pest control company do regular service on the property, so the $10/mo was less than it would have cost her to arrange herself.

I do all my own work, so it takes longer as if I'd hire someone as I have a regular job and only do my home flipping on the side... evenings and weekends..

I put my focus on regular buyers and do what I can to make them happy as the trust that gets built goes a long way.

His lease stated that I may come in at any time without notice for a safety inspection, which I did on a regular basis.

Talk to a few, and maybe ask the cashiers if they know of some regular customers to talk to.

@Ryan BeasleyI am definitely a supporter of investing in ETFs, and I do like REIT ETFs as a nice diversification that gives regular market investors some exposure to real estate.
