Some are first-time investors, others are very experienced. 10% down payment is available for both ends of the spectrum depending on the deal numbers.Shoot me a quick DM or email and I'd be happy to lay out the options available to you. 

I do recommend on higher end properties adding TV channels and Spectrum has a live TV stream app (no more boxes, I also imagine other cable providers so as well).

On the other side of the spectrum you have the investors posting in these forums about the contractor who walk off the job and shares how they hired them to do a SFR gut reno with updating mechanicals, new roof etc. for $45k and is wondering why they are running into issues. 

Why ask: Learning how your mentor handled failures or setbacks will help you gain perspective on the full spectrum of risks and challenges in the field.

To dovetail on this point, on the spectrum of investor friendly agents (that also invest), the better agents will want to know they are using their time wisely.

While they may answer their cell phone at all times of the day, most owners soon find out that the manager is spread too thin and constantly over-promises and under-delivers.At the other end of the spectrum there are owners who are too hadns off, leaving their PMC to try to figure out how much they can do without owner approval.

Before making any decision, I would get a customized property evaluation by a local Realtor to determine the value of the property on both sides of the spectrum; sale OR rental. 

It looks like this particular investor preferred the low level price point and the risks that come along with it even though he was buying from a company who could offer him both types of investments on the complete opposite side of the risk spectrum.

That's flipping to the other side of the spectrum.

Honestly, the people join our group if/when their #1 focus is raising more capital, so it's a pretty broad spectrum.
