The folks who collect money for selling boilerplate websites and then conferring "loss mitigation certifications" to its customers... and to those who do provide a and charge for a service.

My preferences at this point are apartment complexes or single family homes with the goal of generating cash flow.

You'd think the builders would want to build a large potential customer base for the future.

Not sure if anyone reading has ever heard about us, but we are a factory direct supplier for most of our customer's building needs.

15 year mortgages are painful and will back you up against a wall fast but if you have the money...they pay down great and I prefer them for investment property especially with partners. 20 year is slightly less painful.

what i was saying is that i prefer rehabbing, but i have a little construction experience, and i'm mechanically inclined.

Ordinarily, notwithstanding the common advice to start with a single family property, my preference is to acquire a fourplex, triplex, or duplex (in that order).

I personally prefer to be in control of the transaction and there are no laws against, so I want to see my name on that check.

I agree with all cash, I've been working airline ticket counter/customer service for about 13 yrs and 99% of the population is not very bright at all. use the KISS principal...Keep it simple stupid.....the landlords you called probably more interested in selling their space then buying yours.

Would you prefer I want to buy a house in a crummy neighborhood just because I could get it cheaper and on paper it cash flowed for more?
