do you guys prefer to only invest in newer homes  i.e. built after a certain year to reduce the possibility of having to do a lot of reno on wiring, plumbing, etc. or does it just depend on seeing the house and determining the condition that its in?

I have a few for cash flow but I prefer equity - which I live in the Washington DC area so you are not going to be getting cash flowing rentals off the bat but if you hold them for 20 years you will not be complaining. 

Owensboro, the state's 4th largest city, has a population under 100K, and many OOS investors prefer cities with at least 300K residents and strong job growth.

I would take a couple days and go down there (preferably with a friend...rent a U-Haul truck and go get furniture from thrift stores, antiques stores, and even buy some new stuff.

I would have to see minimum last 36mnths financials and would prefer 60.

@Simandu YakubovFor my flipping business, I prefer to use fewer software programs to streamline things.

Doing this will give you a lower interest rate, which is why I prefer it to getting a longer amortization and paying extra on the principal.

And all this for no monthly fee.I do prefer TVs with Roku built right in vs. a separate Roku device, because guests change the inputs, unplug the Roku box so they can plug in their own PlayStation, etc.

I know others prefer doing it all themselves.

Lol.So, would you have preferred start with something like seller financing deals instead of conventional loans?
