@Chadarius Woodears, I would recommend your first goal in real estate be to purchase a multi-family property (preferably 3- or 4-unit for better cash flow), live in one unit, and rent out the other two or three units.  

I much prefer selecting the most qualified candidate, not necessarily the most speedy.In your situation, I would apprise both prospective tenants that you have received several calls of interest and have arranged to show the property through the weekend.

We pride ourselves on making the sale as easy as possible and we’d prefer to do all the work ourselves!

This is what brought me here.If I can afford something here now, then I would prefer to house hack.

Who knows, someone may prefer a personable independent guy than a big company.

Preferably an agent with an investment portfolio.Thank you so much!

Syndicator has preferred return for first $500, any free cashflow beyond 12% goes to syndicator.

Prefer 3-6 family or with a commercial space. 

I agree with Russell, I would personally stay away from Downtown but that is my preference. 

I still prefer knowing ahead of time.
