I've always preferred the "money now" in this situation.

I prefer to see them go quickly myself, especially with hard money.

Why do you prefer buy and hold over others?

But the property must be the type of property I would like to manage and preferably within my target area (2 mile radius of my home).

My preference is as I said before to start my rehabbing and build up equity as the funds rotate, but the fall back is to slow my plans and take the hands off route. 

I prefer to stay small time and fly under the radar to protect my business interests and my tenants.

Preferably someone both good and reasonable price wise.

It's difficult to get on a commercial MF preferred customer list without a track record. 

Most of my success building my rental portfolio has come in areas of purchase prices between $70,000 - $100,000 so I would prefer not to have to force myself to spend more money on property just to meet a minimum loan amount if 100k after 25% down payment.

So, I prefer to say no.
