I managed a large complex for many years that was a dormitory style, 6 bedrooms in each unit— I felt like I was putting fires out all the time.

You can probably save more by downsizing  your present rental situation and live a more frugal life style as a tenant that as a home owner.

Definitely not a fan of their style of business.

At that price I figured I'd buy everything I liked, style-wise, as when I buy a new property and need to add a cabinet or drawer fixture I often have to replace all of them as it's rare to be able to purchase one that matches the fixture(s) already there (as they're often older fixtures that have been discontinued).  

With that in mind, what type/style have you all had the most success rate with?

The tenants use it to pay rent as well but the thing my tenants like the most is the push notification style communication. 

The knowledge that I have obtained since I discovered BP has given me confidence that I can get into real estate investing at my age.I have big plans, but am unsure about which style of REI will be best for me.

Wells Fargo style, where each customer "should"  have as many accounts as possible with them as they can get you signed up for. 

Move all your stuff into storage (furniture, clothes, knick-knacks etc.)2.

So a lot of the deals I see are priced, and sell, so high that it doest make much sense for my style of investing to spend a whole lot of time or money investing in a wholeseller.
