If the foundation repair went over budget 10-20k "which I hear they do quite frequently" is a 20k profit worth the time / risk or is there other "Low Hanging Fruit" you could invest in for the same return?

People are much more likely to work for many different companies during their lifetime and because of this to move quite frequently.

I ain't an Obama fan and never will be.

If you want to witness this type of trading, watch Pawn Stars.I'm not a fan of gold in a total collapse situation.

Like Greg mentioned, I'm a big fan of requests being sent via text.

But what I'm pondering is what about you poor guys in the middle who can take a calculated risk and even if the s**t hits the fan you can ride it out long enough to break even or get a profit.

Nothing could be further from the truth.The issues are just as challenging and as every bit as frequent as other RE investments:1.

You won't have to make frequent trips back and forth if you don't want to.

I wanted to ask seasoned investors on their thoughts on which would be the best option for the criteria I am looking for:- Minimal down payment (<$20K if possible, 20-25% down payment options)- Minimal involvement in property management, and frequent updates on financials- Areas with good appreciation potential- Minimal tenant turnover / vacancy- Good Cashflow (>$300/month) and ROI (12-15%+)Let me know what your thoughts are, and perhaps some additional criteria that I should consider.

So, I'd like to remove fans, garbage disposals, etc to reduce calls and items to replace.
