I'm looking at MFH $450k and up in the Ohio markets (Dayton, Cleveland and Columbus).Cash:- Higher CoC returns- No risk to being having negative cash flow with a loan (excluding capex)- Buying/negotiating power with speed of transaction - No interest payments- No risk of foreclosureFinanced:- Possible exponential equity growth - Growth of initial investment is leveraged ~4x and most likely beat inflation in a decent area- Mortgage interest tax deductions - Better financial efficiency from more doors- Better diversification across more properties Are there other considerations I'm missing? 

The Orthodox Jews in NYC (and I am sure elsewhere) have no issues transacting millions of dollars of business each and every year on a flip phone.The tech for solar panels is just not there.  

Transacting real estate is expensive. 

I'm talking to the seller's broker, but I would like to find my own people to assist with the due diligence period, such as an SBA loan broker, an accountant with experience doing QoE for this kind of transaction, and a lawyer.

Once you start closing deals or handling larger transactions, form an LLC to protect personal assets, build credibility, and gain tax flexibility.

It now makes me question whether other platforms, like Avail, are also allowing the tenant to pay via credit card and we as landlords are just unaware of the mechanism because it's a side of the transaction we don't have visibility into.

An agent has a fiduciary duty to protect your best interests, which include protection from the many different liabilities that can pop up during the course of a transaction.

Or what would a title company be able to provide outside of transactions?

You really want to have your contract approved by an attorney even though California doesn't use attorneys for transactions.

The investors that I work with value that we act as their boots on the ground for the transaction and normally use the equity gain to buy the next property.
