:) Lisbon would probably be ideal

In an ideal world, we'd look to get both, but with today's higher interest rates and rising home values, it seems harder for deals to cash flow. 

What some others have said echos this impression of mine:Chris Clothier:“Roofstock wants to give the impression that they have handled everything for you and they are the experts.”A screenshot from a private message sent to me (identity concealed): Another screenshot from another investor's (let's call him/her Anonymous2) private message:What Anonymous2 wrote at the end of this screenshot reminds me of @Tony Kim 's comment that Roofstock isn't ideal for investors who want to play a very passive role in the purchase. 

Ideally, you want to look for markets with a growing economy, diverse industries, and growing population that indicates strong rental demand.

(condos are cheaper, but not always ideal and the condo fees take a lot of the rent that could go to your mortgage). 

Ideally, you know every cabinet placement, tile selection, etc when you meet the contractor for bids.  

You need to showcase the 3 pillars of conversions, in a light that aligns with what that audience's ideal cash buyer to work with is.Social media is a perfect outlet to showcase who you are, what you are like, and what it would be like to work with you, all of which are essential requirements for a conversion to take place.So Social media is not just another strategy to try out on its own stand-alone.

There is no guaranty that we will have enough money, after paying expenses, to distribute enough to pay a 12% annual return to Investors or even to return all of the invested capital.The second paragraph above "No Guaranty" to me, means that these distributions of preferred returns should not have been reported on the K-1s as "Guaranteed Payments," creating not-so-ideal tax implications for investors in the fund due to triggering self-employment taxes. 

I do think that having a contractor give you quotes is MUCH better, but often not completely practical or ideal either.

They only deal with title & "paperwork"   which with my experience I deal with that, while the buyers make sure what they are trying to do is possible.
