While I’m open to both turn-key and fixer-upper properties, my preference leans slightly toward value-add opportunities where I can improve the property and increase equity or cash flow.That said, I’m also happy to consider turn-key options that provide immediate cash flow if they fit within my investment strategy.

Name of the game for me is speed to move the contract.Currently I have a mass email marketing platform that works well but no one checks their email as much as their texts. 

@Denise CarringerMy preference is to go local - some community banks offer this type of service or local escrow companies, which is what I found, because they offer a higher level of service than most national.

I understand the pros and cons of both so no real immediate preference.

Keep in mind of the I/O(payments/period) and game plan on how fast you'd like to pay it down. 

The GC and the sub ended up sharing in the cost mostly (I think) because it was better than the finger pointing game that had already started, and realistically the attorney's were the only ones about to win...

Given the photo of that fix/flip, I assume you're OK with a "fixer upper" or would you prefer a turn-key rental?

I already have land holdings near Everett that will certify out at 304 salable density bonus credits.To play this game, I get certified and then "clip off" the transferable development rights for sale to urban developers in the county, who can cash them in for an increase in dwelling unit density from an original 22 units/acre to 58 units, and building heights from 45' to 75'.

Hello Tiffani Hollis, Congratulations on stepping into the realestate game.

Truckee has some tight STR laws and if you're in that game I'd stay.
