I always preferred the web/desktop version anyhow, but the app was convenient for conversations!

I wouldn't focus singularly on individual city initiatives/projects and would recommend focusing more on fundamentals.

I’ve heard arguments for both, but I’m curious—what’s your preference, and why?

Definitely a personal preference.

Market isn't that important, but I prefer southern states.

That also plays a major role in what to do. end of day stocks and real estate over time provide the same return on average - so it is really based on the individual, their experience and desire Thank you. 

I personally do not prefer to hold high cost SFRs as LTR investments.  

Many of the OTAs and lead gen sites, like Furnished Finder, are pushing credit card payments. 99.9% of the time I get a message from FF saying 'your tenant would prefer to pay by credit card so activate Stripe now!' 

Can pay cash but prefer to finance part of it How did you add value to the deal?

I would have preferred a smaller 50K to begin with.
