Dora, Eustis, and Umatilla with the sterotypical 'perfect' small 3/2 rental houses (and a good mix of 3/1s and 2/1s). 

I'm so used to my nice, cushy, low maintenance properties here in Los Angeles with perfect tenants that probably contact me no more than once a year for very minor issues...

So the chance that you will ever buy any investment at the perfect time/price/rate... it's a fools errand to make that a criteria over ROI, location, condition, etc.Now maybe if you were saying you were thinking about only doing 19 deals this year instead of 20 and you wanted to hold that cash for a potential better buy after a crash, I get that too. 

I think it’s perfectly reasonable to ask for one or the other.

After seeing several posts regarding pet rent, I decided it is a perfect way to increase cash flow.

I am planning on using the BRRRR method so that would be perfect.

I just can't put up with that kind of behavior in the hopes it may help me in the future.In this case, it seems you get their help now, but didn't have to deal with that in the past, so a perfect situation, and not reason to not avoid them today.Good luck with your project, and please let me know if I can help in any way in my part of the world with your expansion.

A duplex would be perfect but I would like to be in a nice neighborhood, and have decent square footage.

I have already identified the perfect property and don't want to lose it...

A split use property where the investment allocation is $500K and the primary side is $500K would be a perfect replacement.2.
