Preferably one that does multiple frequencies (like A/B/G/N/AC @ 2.4GHz and 5GHz).

You won't get the answers to all the questions you have.I would prefer number one every time but your question was about property managers I would ask.How do they screen tenants?

The destination of the direction I was going was not a bad one, however, some of my life goals (home ownership (X many), a yard for my unborn kids, laundry in my own unit, passive income to go to my unborn kid's field trips on a whim...) were just too far out of striking range within my preferred timeline.

I would prefer the tenant not to use the fireplace. 

I told him what I was looking for, got pre-qualified from his preferred lender...and I CLOSED on a property. 

If the house is in the hood I prefer to go section 8.

@Sean DawsonIf your thinking about doing it in Columbus it might be difficult given the market conditions..I think in most cases besides eating capital gains seller would prefer a lump sum of cash at closing..Sellers would consider a take back note if they have difficulty selling the property, hiding a deficiency or need to unload it quick..

This is why the builder's will give you $5k or $10k in credits to work with the preferred lender -- if someone is selling a house for $40k more than it's worth, they can afford to cut you a $10k check to make sure it goes smoothly. 

Otherwise it’s easiest to bring in a 25% equity partner into the deal and pay a small preferred return to him/her.

I prefer the meetups myself but you can meet people and learn from all of them.
