I don't mean for you to answer those questions here, but answer them for yourself to figure this out.Based on the answer to that question, where do properties sell in a time frame that will fit your investment objective? 

If your objective it to acquire 50 properties this might be the right organisation.Find yourself a good accountant and attorney who can help you turn your goals into a viable roadmap which will mitigate your tax obligations along the way.

How about putting some skin in the game and provide some information regarding the house plan, cost to purchase, location, comp rental rates, your experience level, objectives and your pro forma income statement.

Now vet students are coming out 250k in debt and our industry salary didn't increase anywhere near that %.... in todays market, NOW WAY would I go 250k in debt to get where I am now......I've seen plenty of kids go to college and then do NOTHING even close to useful or successful.......Ive also see some that do the "college isnt worth it" route and go from job to job to job always chasing the next shiny object and do NOTHING and get nowhereYour education doesn't  make you successful.....

My objective: to purchase a SFR for rental / cash flow.

Some object to the personal info on the form and over the years had only a few who would not submit that data. 

Avoid shiny object syndrome, live below your means, have a plan. 

Practice those scripts on people, learn what objections are the most common and learn how to overcome them. 4) How would you guys plan your daily tasks?

I concur you should invest at least initally in you back yard, which is probably where you have the most intrinsic knoweledge and network.If you have a good network of folks you trust who are doing what you want to do with same investment objectives maybe you try something in that market.I have yet to find deals that compare to ones I've found in my backyard of Detroitive invested $1,000 for 2 family flat and now valued at 250kspent $32k and bought 9 2 family flats portfolio would be valued at $3M if all were renovated$10k and working on a $450-500k 3 family currently.If you have deals like this in your market and need a partner contact me and I'll jump on a flight. 

Even better with multiple pros, we could have more objective decision-making.
