Depending on your level or preference of analysis, data and their providers are incredibly important and difficult to obtain when it comes to real estate underwriting.

Time with family, giving to a preferred charity, or just having nobody buying your time. 

Do you have any geographic locations that you prefer to invest in? 

That’s what I’m talking about.. having people on the ground who know their turf and can spot trouble before it smacks you in the face.From what I’ve heard, outfits like Northwest Preferred Property Management or Umbrella Properties in Eugene aren’t just running the numbers.. they’ve seen the weird mid-season repairs and the tenant personalities you’ll never read about in a textbook.

As for the Florida property, as other s have said, its a personal preference. 

Preferably looking for a duplex or a single family home.  

This would allow us to have a clear bird-eye view of the various data in order to analyze and take decisions Second Point:I would prefer to manage it internally for confidentiality purposes.

I prefer a more realistic and strategic approach.

I don't know, that's a personal preference.

Some people love the larger companies and some people prefer the smaller ones.
