I’ve found that most of my tenants prefer this over paying with a check and they all have smart phones.

So far it looks like I'll need the following: Realtor, property manager, rehabber/contractor, and a loan person.Extra preference: A cool person friend who's 'made it' through real estate and is caught up with GoTLooking forward to my new home here!

I've read over and over again on the forums if you live on the west coast just invest out of state, but I would prefer to get started around Seattle to grow a portfolio.Very excited about this venture and entering the realm of REI.

I would prefer to be leveraged in all rental properties rather than all cash purchases to maximize cash on cash returns. 

I usually prefer to shower.

I think my preference would be to have a capital partner and then I go and do all the work/management.

Although not needed, some folks prefer that.Best!

Lots of people live in small towns, I prefer it to a big city.  

I've done both and much prefer the SFH.

For me I always leverage a RE agent because I prefer not to deal with sellers directly who don’t know what they’re doing and who can potentially blow a good deal.
