You're asking for objective preference from someone else for YOUR business, pick what YOU like best.

The main objective of this post was to get advice on what investors would want in order to allow me to use their money to purchase a home than refinance or some other exit strategy in order to give them their money.

I would start by defining your objectives--how much cash flow you need and how soon you need it.

A typical progression for a new investor with no or very little capital is: 1) Bird-dogging / wholesaling2) Rehabbing3) Investing for long term cash flow (that's your final objective from what I understand)You can start by looking for deals for other investors (bird-dogging).

@San NguyenYou didn't mention what your objective is for this property.

If so, you are likely dead in the water or, at the very least your objective just became more difficult to reach.  

I want to avoid "shiny object syndrome" so I am trying to widen our reach while also staying in the lane of value add that we are comfortable in and have been successful in. 

My objective is to buy rental properties to cover my existing monthly cash flow.

How should we deal with this objection ?

Any other objections or experiences investing in an area that sounds similar to this?
