Which do you prefer, interest only or repayment?

If the option is avaialble from the lender we prefer to have the insurance escrowed into our monthly mortgage payment along with our property taxes.

Personally, I prefer to do it on my own. 

I’ve found that most of my tenants prefer this over paying with a check and they all have smart phones.

So far it looks like I'll need the following: Realtor, property manager, rehabber/contractor, and a loan person.Extra preference: A cool person friend who's 'made it' through real estate and is caught up with GoTLooking forward to my new home here!

I've read over and over again on the forums if you live on the west coast just invest out of state, but I would prefer to get started around Seattle to grow a portfolio.Very excited about this venture and entering the realm of REI.

I would prefer to be leveraged in all rental properties rather than all cash purchases to maximize cash on cash returns. 

You need someone that knows this niche.

I usually prefer to shower.

I think my preference would be to have a capital partner and then I go and do all the work/management.
