Figure out if they're a good fit.

I would also caution you to make sure you aren't taking the $100,000 goal budget, and simply making the pieces fit (for example, everything before windows totals $95,000, so you think "I'm sure I can get windows done for $5,000").

Your best bet is to sit down with a lender and walk through all your options and see which one fits your situation and circumstance the best. 

Thanks again Theresa :) I'm thinking of contacting a real estate lawyer or CPA just b/c I've heard the agent is not always fit to give this kind of advice and they might not be the most unbiased. 

Let me know if there are any actual deals in search of funding and I can help connect if it fits. 

And as someone who ran my own business, fitness industry but viewed as a commodity like real estate, I will say if you want to charge more than your competition, you had better have clients singing your praise left and right. 

Whatever fits your goals and your passions.

No matter what, I say the 20% down, the 30-fixed, and spending less than you make are musts, but just my 2 cents, but you gotta do what fits your life and do what you are comfortable with and what fits your financial strategy.

Maybe someplace in the Midwest will fit the bill.Just research out of state investing.

Depending on your network, you will receive recommendations on what would best fit the number of investors.
