I agree with both sides of the spectrum and each category has its pros vs cons.

Since I’ve begun to reach to these agents they’re either at one end or another of the spectrum which makes it fairly easy to weed them out, especially based on your criteria.

I have clients that are searching for property on either end of this spectrum (lower Westchester vs inner Newburgh) so it comes down to your personal choices, needs, goals and comfort level as an investor.

I think there is a large spectrum of help that can be generated.

There's a broad spectrum of where these people are at on the motivation scale, but what do you do with the people who say they called because you sent them a letter/called them/etc?

I am on the other end of the spectrum and wouldn't do 1%.

For example, if you want to invest for ten years, keep the risk on the low end of the spectrum, and be comfortable that your investment will weather a recession, then a mobile home park would be a good asset class to choose. 

The spectrum ranges from loans where the only criteria is the subject property and the ability of the property to service the debt, to loans where the borrower’s personal financial health is the main driver.

Some people on the other end of the spectrum find houses that they feel comfortable leaving the existing wiring, heating, and plumbing systems.

Cash flow is much better at the lower end of the rent spectrum, and that is how a lot of investors make money, but it is risky because those tenants sometimes have problems paying, and turnover can have costly repair expenses.Placement of good tenant is most important factor, and unfortunately with fees PM's charge, their incentive is not necessarily to put the best tenant in place - they often receive late fees, and they receive a fee every time they place a tenant.
