Generally, I'd look for the ideal: % based mgmt fee with a cap on the value.

Ideally looking to cash flow positive on all properties.  

I deal with wholesalers every week on my fundings  or should I say I see their fee's on the HUDS every week.. if I see one come in that is just way to high  like a 50k purchase and 50k assingment fee I wont fund it..

First, define your goals know your target cash flow, ideal property type, and budget.

And I feel the ideal portfolio can benefit from the diversification of both.I feel directly owned properties are great because they give me maximum control and the ability to tweak them exactly how I want.

Ideally, it is something we can renovate ourselves.

Diversifying geographically can also reduce risk and increase long-term returns.For example, there are several markets across the U.S. that are ideal for new investors because they offer affordable entry points, reliable cash flow, and strong economic fundamentals.

Ideally, no more than 5% over median and no lower than 15% under median.

And I feel the ideal portfolio can benefit from the diversification of both.I feel directly owned properties are great because they give me maximum control and the ability to tweak them exactly how I want.

I focus on finding deals that meet specific criteria, and I always keep my underwriting conservative to make sure the numbers work even on a worst case scenario.Right now, my big goal is to land my first property, ideally 20+ units in Florida, and build a strong portfolio from there.
