If you can get both then wonderful, but generally most investors pick one or the other as it suits their individual goals.  

(there are some exceptions, but expectations don't make you money) So that leaves "individual landlords" who self-manage. 

I'm seeking advice on the best way to implement this fairly and effectively.Here are a few options I've considered:Submetering: Installing individual water meters for each unit could be a solution, allowing each tenant to be billed based on their usage.

They claim that they are able to speak to ~200-~240 individual home owners per day (out of 2000 numbers dialed).

The deal Automator to be 100% honest with all of you is whatever that individual makes it to be.

@Jon Rosburg, I'm an agent for the STS, and it's true, we do have a lot of clients assigned to us individually, but not all of them are looking in each market at the same level or with the same focus/intensity. 

You can see regularly companies and some individuals here on BP that like to play games and it happens to them.   

I agree though, an individual condo unit purchase in an old building without the ability to do or understand your due diligence adequately is a massive risk.

Thanks for sharing your perspective—it’s definitely insightful, and I understand where you’re coming from.While I get that partnering with one exclusive buyer might limit your potential profit on individual deals, couldn’t there be value in the consistency and reliability of working with a cash buyer who provides specific leads/addresses and is always ready to close on those deals?

And maybe individual lenders use tax returns not because they "need" them, but just to qualify a borrower.So - the only points I am making here are:1.
