You might want to modify these offers a bit to fit your needs as well.

Time is an important factor as I work anywhere from 45-60 hours a week.I have heard/read somewhere that ideally someone investing in property would want to see returns no more than 2 years later.

If this property doesn't fit your criteria, walk!

I give them the tenant's number and have them call them direct to set up a day/time that works.At some point, I hope to sell the homes in the outlying areas and the ones that are not the most ideal rentals and take the equity from those (they do have some decent equity still) and upgrade to better areas and better product.Then, I see no reason why I couldn't do 30 or more by myself.It also helps that my wife cuts hair in her salon in the basement.

You will win some and you will lose some, but at least you have done your due diligence and made an offer that fits your investment criteria.

Immediate goal is to buy our first income property, ideally a 4 plex.

I really guess I am looking for people that are looking so that I can hunt properties that would fit there need.

Ideally it would, if that's how the end buyer wants the property delivered (i.e. vacant).

Ideally, the tenants will pay you enough rent so that you'll live free, or close to it.

Shorter fits better on business cards, centers on letterhead, fits on stamps to endorse checks and costs less for type setting too.How about signs, cost per letter, big names, small letter size can't read it as well far away.How will you brand your business, got a slogan, a motto, a saying that identifies you?
