For a long time this was not the preferred way because of the short holding period. 

I prefer to be proactive though and not wait for things to come to me!

But the real reason I would prefer someone else is I'm hoping to get an objective opinion of what the house might look like, neighborhood, is it safe, etc. and whether the property scout I'm using would they live there?

Do you prefer a cash offer = less net, or financed offer = more net & possible hiccups along the way?

If you’re happy with the cash flow with where it is now and know that you’ll need a lot of capital when it comes to renovating it then it’s a personal preference at that point.

@Patrick Orah management is one of those things where I’d actually prefer to pay a premium and get the desired results rather than go bargain shopping.

This is my preferred lending institution.

I prefer to create more value by buying building with lots extra unfinished spaces or big dry walk out basement walk in attics, attached barns etc adding bedrooms increases cash flow quicker cheaper than extra bathrooms and adding entire apartments great too.

Pardon my interest, but I would also like to understand the spread among five states.I am currently looking for a long distance reliable turnkey, managed by a flawless manager, so if you are up for selling, let me know.I would prefer Md. , as I already have a rental there, but I only buy in safe neighborhoods with decent schools.Thank you.

Preferably a referral from someone you trust.
