Like @Bruce Woodruff I prefer VRBO guests but I haven't had terrible luck with AirBNB guests.

Do you have a service or website you prefer to handle direct mail?

While I’m open to both turn-key and fixer-upper properties, my preference leans slightly toward value-add opportunities where I can improve the property and increase equity or cash flow.That said, I’m also happy to consider turn-key options that provide immediate cash flow if they fit within my investment strategy.

Is there a certain direct mail service they prefer?  

Quote from @Keith Groshans: My preferred investment in my SDIRA is mortgage notes.

•Deal evaluation: Simple, actionable advice or tools to help me confidently analyze and structure deals.I’m also looking to network with wholesale-minded agents, understand local buyers’ preferences (buy boxes), and explore mentorship or partnership opportunities that can help me gain momentum.I’m eager to learn, take action, and build something impactful for my family.

Are you a hands-on type that can make improvements to a home or prefer to contract out work?

First, banks do not prefer W2 income over 1099 income at all.

I haven't worked with anything but hardwood and tile in recent years but would prefer a cheaper, waterproof option if it looks decent. 

Hi, We're looking to invest in properties in Detroit preferably with the BRRRR strategy.
