Making such a hasty decision on two weeks worth of knowing these people as your customers seems like a rash decision to me, but I don't know exactly what's going on, and sometimes personalities just do not mix well together.

But the answer for everyone may differ.Here are the personal attributes I see in those able to achieve a higher than market ROI, enough higher to be able to “scale”.1- Knowledge of real estate principles, real estate law and real estate finance2- Minimum 3 -5 years full time, or near full time experience directly related to real estate investing3- Ability to utilize technology for increased efficiency, capacity, and accuracy4- Excellent hired legal counsel and excellent hired marketing help5- Established method(s) of obtaining consistently high QUALITY deal flow6- Ability to manage and choose people who are NOT employees: Attorneys, Appraisers, Mortgage Brokers, Real Estate Brokers, Title Companies, Surveyors, Marketing Specialists, Accountants, Contractors, Consultants, Property Managers7- A VERIFIABLE track record of success8- Ability to identify, analyze, and negotiate a deal that can be “worked” for “enhanced” ROI9- Some type of competitive advantage; for example for me it’s my ability to analyze and identify mortgage loans that are actually less risky than all other lenders believe (on the investing in debt side), and on the real property side it’s my ability to analyze”pull the trigger” with LESS information than other investors need,  combined with the ability to pay cash, or raise significant capital almost instantly as well as being able to obtain loans at the lowest prime customer bank rate with no recourse or personal liability.  

Generally speaking, my landlord-tenant attorney encourages use of these forms rather than writing up a custom agreement.

Look for a local credit union that can offer a cash-out refinance once the work is done, ideally with minimal seasoning.

I once ran across a hot tub where the customer mentioned it tingled when they were getting in it .

I am currently working to find ideal properties.

It's a great strategy but I agree with @Jack Seiden, having roommates at 30 isn't ideal.

Ideally you want to be West of HWY 71

While that's certainly not ideal, my leverage was low to start with and my loan maturities were ten years so I have staying power to sell into a better market.Looking ahead, anything I'd buy would have to cash flow out of the gate in a higher-rate climate. 

I deal with manufactured, modular and site built.
