Investment properties with cash flow are what I am leaning toward right now, but am open to other ideas and opportunities. 

I'm leaning towards doing a flip but I don't think my chances of getting a mortgage are that great right now with less than a year of work experience and student loans.

I'm going to use every option they have to lower the rate (use their checking, do auto decutions, etc.)This particular local bank is offering 15 year terms with options to lock in the rate with no penalities for paying back early.We're leaning toward our 2nd MFR or possibly do 2-3 SFR's in a particular area.Thanks.

I am heavily leaning towards another provider for sure. 

Get other experienced investors you trust around you and lean on them as much as you can. 

I just don't understand why investors (even left leaning ones) are so indifferent to the state telling you what you may and may not do with your property.

My current tenants don't have pets, so it didn't come up previously, but with the new listing I'm leaning towards allowing cats and not dogs (or small dogs, but that doesn't seem to be an option).

I want to expand to Cleveland in 2021 and would appreciate hearing about your leanings after a year. 

The purpose for providing tenants with a packet is to have them maintain the property for their convenience and to set the tone that a plumber won't be coming every time they clog the sink or have a slow draining tub. 

Buy a house in a big city, stay in motels in the country a couple nights a week/camp on the Dropzone (the main problem with this is I can’t realistically make sales calls from a Dropzone, hence the motel idea)At this point, I’m sort of leaning against option 1.
