The truth is, if you can execute, BRRRR can work in all of those cities so it's a matter of preference - whether you prioritize cash flow or appreciation, price range, if you know anyone, school zones, etc.

I'd like to connect with someone who knows the local market as this is where I would prefer the property to be at since it is close to me.

I prefer a single basin from a maintenance perspective and typically always use this in rentals.  

If your goal is to get the info asap for small multis, I would go with something where it's already skip traced so you can direct market or call for that investor's preference.

That said, I prefer to use a HELOC for short term investments like fix & flips because I only pay for what I use and I can continually keep recycling the money.

I've set this up for some of my employees who prefer gmail.

(Again, I know it's preference and variables but generally and in your personal opinion with your experience).TThank you in advance for your input here. 

This seems more of a preference item on reporting, but I wanted to get more insight on how these transactions are structured. 

In my experience, banks aren't generally interested in financing the acquisition/rehab of a residential investment properties, but rather they prefer to refinance your HML once the property is stabilized.

People who have money may prefer to seller finance but if someone is retiring they most likely don’t care about a higher sales price they want to avoid the riskYou mention ou have a 100% close rate - then why not just buy it was traditional financing if you really want the deal?
