The question is mostly a personal financial planning question and it depends on your preference and what balance of risk and access you'd like and would be comfortable with.

Do you have a preferred type of property and price range you're looking for in general (knowing the costs can be different based on they market)?

It is turn key, we have boots on the ground, we have a preferred team to work with in every area that we have inventory, and it is a flexible investment that you own and control.  

Do you have a service or website you prefer to handle direct mail?

I am a realtor and wholesaler, and I get some buyers looking for owner financing, some sellers need/prefer getting cashed out and there are some lenders I work with who can provide the financing however they run out of funds sometimes.

Platforms like Avail can help if you prefer to self-manage but still require time for repairs.Tax-wise, repair costs may be deductible immediately, while major improvements must be depreciated over 27.5 years.

In some older neighborhoods especially historic districts, the tenants look for older houses - they preferred the art deco bathroom tiles, the thick plaster & lath walls over granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.but class D neighborhoods are easiest to tell. 

Definitely a personal preference.
