Happy to discuss the financing aspect of this if you'd like.

For example, I am a little concerned about some aspects of the business cycle recovery and a potential for a double-dip so I lean toward the safest part of capital stack which is debt (or low-debt equity).

I wanted to hire VA's to handle the cold calling aspect of things, since that is the most time consuming part in my mind.

Of course there are many other aspects to the due diligence, including knowledge and inspection of the properties.

Remarkably, all but two described the same types of properties.The next step is to purchase a property similar to what these reliable tenants currently rent.Below is an illustration of the process I followed.In summary, determine which tenant segment will provide the most reliable income and buy properties they are willing and able to rent.

The contracts aspect is major, VERY major, not to mention it can make massive $ differences in a sale.

What is remarkable about out market is how fast the numbers look better and better each year. 

Im a new comer that want to learn and understand all aspects of real estate.

I don't find too much value on this aspect, the valuation models are all the same, and your data wouldn't be differentiated.

Some of the best ones I know started as flippers or also flip themselves and/or have rentals so they understand the risks to buyers and all the aspects that go into it and aren't just locking up deals and renegotiating sellers.
