You can either go the route he suggested by hiring a VA or you can look for a local admin or assistant that can do things such as answer the phone, compile a list of preferred contractors, and coordinate tenant service requests.

And would love to understand anyone’s perspective on the differences or what they tend to prefer or look for.Thank you in advance!

Decide which niche you want, whether it is SF or MF or other.

I’m asking from the perspective of being able to quickly rent out the rooms (preferably MTR) and for potential appreciation.

Or use your credit card or get one if you're able to, preferably at 0% interest.

Even if it does turn out to be terrible I've burned way more than 49 dollars on way dumber stuff in real estate, that is for sure.editHe probably does not remember it, but years ago I reached out to him and he gave me some great advice on a niche form of real estate investing, which is why I am saying if it is good enough for him it should be good enough for me. 

Lenders prefer 10x times negotiate than foreclose, they are in the business to make money and no to take properties from people specially now when no one is not buying due to high interest.  

In short - private lenders are preferred over traditional financing, but it might be wise to use both.

Now, that said, let's give the contrary view, and why I wouldn't personally do that deal:-Limited appreciation potential for at least 3 years on this property based on location and demand, and no opportunity for forced appreciation-Risk with Section 8 on cap ex -I look for cash neutral on 15 to 20 year notes-positive cash flow of 144/month does not excite me, especially since I prefer appreciation potential -I avoid rentals that require more than $2000/month in rent to work given lack of demand at that price point in North AlabamaAgain, I ran this example just for educational purposes. 

Hello, I am trying to choose a service for my lead generation, comps, property lookup, skiptracing, etc. and was wondering if anyone here has any preferences when it comes to batchleads, propstream and property radar.
