If so, then you have more options at your disposal.

If your firewood guy says he will dispose of brush instead of chipping it,,,have him remove that before the firewood.

I don't put in garbage disposers or dishwashers.

And by move-in ready, they meant all appliances, washer/dryer, mini-blinds on all windows, shelving in all the closets, working garage door remotes, garbage disposal, etc.In my opinion, the extra $1500 it takes to get a house from where a typical rehabber would sell it to where it is absolutely complete is very, very much worth it.

SFRs are easier to buy, you can get 30 year fixed loans (at least when you're starting out) and can more easily dispose of the properties if you decide to get out of the business. 

Likewise, in my low income rentals, I take out the closet doors, remove all ceiling fans, remove all screen doors, take out all dishwashers, remove garbage disposals, and do not provide air conditioning.

Are you legally authorized to dispose of the property?

This landlord thought he had a creative and easy way to get rid of his tenant's stuff. It kind of back fired.

There are several aspects of collateralization and disposal under the Uniform Commercial Code and the Fair Credit/Collections laws that apply to note buyers as your purchase of a note is not a personal investment transaction but a commercial business transaction.

I would also say both - Diversification is always a good thing considering today's market volatility.I'm currently only investing in stocks via my employer's 401k match, and taking my additional disposable income as savings toward real estate.On the other hand, if you feel like only one option is available to you, then I would choose the investment you feel more comfortable with, at least until you familiarize yourself with both markets!
