I am looking to find legit cash buyers that capable of fast closes, within 2 weeks or less preferably.

Then (at least to my understanding) you find an agency that wishes to use it as one of the aforementioned categories and they use it find the individuals to place there and they also act as a "property manager."  

We were one of three in class of ~30 individuals (small or large, you judge) by the end of the 12 week program.

I'm beginning to take interest in buying a single family rental or a small multi-family as a preferred strategy. 

. $250,000 per married individual.  

Comparing two deals - with almost same price point #1. no rent increases but Percentage rent lease - There is a base rent ( ~65% of NOI)  and the rest is percentage of their gross sales in last 12 months#2. 10% rent increase every 5 yearsAs a newbie option #2 seems preferable /safer to me, and #1 may be slightly riskier.

Depending on how many years you have own each property, maybe it is time to assess them: their individual performance, ROI, what type of tenant do each attract?

An individual?

The test you are trying to pass is the 100 hours and no less than any other individual.

I plan to live in one side and rent the other out for at least 2-5 years then will either get a property manager (preferred) or sell.
