Hi @Melissa Nesbitt thanks for the input, I love hearing how different investors organize their business.

Yes, both organizations offer solid training and support to help you get started.But the real value of these organizations is the people you will meet.

What are some things to consider that may be unique to buying this type of rental?

Uri Rafaeli, who lost his property and all the equity associated with it, is just one of thousands of people to be victimized by Michigan's uniquely aggressive property tax statute.

I just like mailing to such small, unique, undiscovered sellers that my competition isn't mailing them and as far as they are concerned, I'm the only one sending a "handwritten letter" to them inquiring about buying their house. 

We had a very unique, beautiful space in a small city downtown.

With the third space rented (ideal for a doctor/medical professional due to proximity to Holy Cross Hospital), this property has a potential for $8,800 - $9,000+ in monthly revenue.Situation - Because there are no recent comps nearby for a property in this unique category I have been unsuccessful in determining a solid ARV to allow me to work backwards.

Professionally I've had a successful career as a fundraiser for 501(c)(3) organizations, but I've always known that I wanted to get involved in holding and/or flipping properties someday (my initial thought was in the distant future when I receive some type of inheritance- being that I have young kids we don't exactly have thousands of dollars laying around to invest these days!)

As long as everything is organized, it's usually not a problem and you cut out the middle man.

I've added a few questions below to keep responses organized.
