I designed a little U-shaped kitchen to fit right in the space.

@Kathy Grossart,A couple of things don't fit here:1.

Are there specific qualities or terms you look for that make the relationship a good fit for your investment strategy?

Again, I would say there is no one size fits all, as each have their own risks, i.e. floating rate has interest rate exposure (a rate cap is just a prepayment of that exposure and is temporary), but fixed rate has prepayment penalties.  

Your time is best spent producing the revenue that allows you to invest in the first place.That includes using local agents you meet and feel are a good fit for you, property managers, possibly buying completed properties like the one you posted here, and outsourcing as much of the process as you can as you get started. 

If they've genuinely abandoned, you'll notice their clothing, personal hygiene, and things of value are all gone.

Now, I’m curious about real estate investing.I have some experience flipping a couple of houses, and although I have a ton of flaws, one of my strengths is being resourceful and assembling amazing teams—I’m always looking for people better than me at what they do— what seems to be a good fit for real estate.

It's the equivalent of the guy with the expensive car and big house acting rich vs. the actual rich guy that lives in a modest house, drives an old truck, and buys his clothes at Costco.

For example, if your driveway only fits two cars, you need to know if tenants plan to bring several vehicles, as this could lead to parking violations and HOA fines.Don’t forget to screen pets, too!

This seems like a no-brainer to me and fits well into a vertical integration strategy (I'm also thinking about managing other people's rentals as even more vertical integration (aka side money).
