Well here's an old article but it gives the basics of investing remotely-https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2012/12/2...The biggest thing is to know what end of the spectrum you're going in on... turnkey on one side all the way to full-out rehabbing on the other side, and everything in between.Let me know if that article strikes up any questions or helps at all.

I have just signed a contract to be able to sell Spectrum Cable and Internet to tenants.

But I am seeking some analytical thought on the risk reward spectrum for these categories.

On the other end of the spectrum, there are a few cities which vary from semi-harsh to harsh regulations, i.e. rules on how many units you can list, requiring the owner to live on the property, limits on the number of days you can rent out to Airbnb guests, etc.

SFRs in the suburbs are for growing families who want to be in certain school districts--these properties will have high property taxes and be at the more expensive end of the spectrum, but you can find fixer uppers and sell them at a good price after rehab if you are patient and look deep--try auction sites like Auction.com, Williams & Williams, Xome, Hubzu.

I place more weight on the desire for cash flow, but as I believe its more of a spectrum than an either/or, I'm trying to identify markets where there is at least a greater likelihood for appreciation as well. 

So.....I know this is a broad spectrum question but what do I need to consider when working a deal with a real estate deal? 

Personal home and income investment property are at the opposite ends of the spectrum.

Or in your experience are there usually different types of buyers that fill out the spectrum?

If you have cable at your own home with Spectrum, Time Warner, etc., you can even download a Roku channel for those services.
