Cash and fast close.

I just don’t want kids to play with it or someone to set it at 60 trying to cool it down fast, and then forget about the setting.

I never went back after the initial fast track and one conference; I could smell something wasn't quite right. i guess you stuck with it huh?

This way you're building equity as fast as you can in order to utilize on your next investment.

Sometimes you will have to move fast and won't have time for it, so try to learn as much as you can to do accurate repair estimates on your own.

Fast forward to today and it is one of my best properties to date.I would look at the long run returns (potential appreciation for example) and understand that you just might have to hold on to the property for a little longer than you planned.This is only of course if you can afford to hold on to it.

I think the rush is just the scarcity of the market-- its making people in the industry having to act fast.

My property manager was ok for the first couple of years but went downhill fast over the last few years. 

But what you do when you just start out, with lots of options out there (that come with risks to burn a lot of cash really fast, when you shouldn't do it)?
