You look like the kind of person who is going somewhere.

The issue was a person sold their home subject 2 and the person who bought it stopped paying.

.: My question is… Do people promote buying rentals due to some sort of  personal benefit/conflict of interest?

It separates your personal assets from your business, providing a safeguard if any legal issues arise related to tenants or the property.

Are you looking to just put the money to work or looking to be personally involved in getting, rehabbing, and dispo of deals?

I personally walked and researched every property prior to investing to understand what I was buying, what could be done to add value and what I should expect in cash flow and appreciation.Learning what makes a good investment for you is absolutely necessary. 

My wife and I plan to purchase a few properties ourselves, but with the lead generation strategies I’ll be implementing, I expect to come across more deals than we can personally handle.That’s where you come in!

My personal preference for a buy and hold would be an already established area (or an area that's still gentrifying, but has already seen significant progress). 

I personally would recommend it but it isnt the best run 3 day. 

I personally haven't sent postcards, I've had good luck with PPC and Video ads.
