I'm very attracted to deep value situations, which to me means gross cash flow generation above the 2% mark (to give a general metric).  

I think you would attract a different (maybe better?)

Share your values with the tenants and enlist their support in keeping their complex and community attractive and crime free.

Can you clarify a bit what aspect of REI attracts you the most?

Hello BP, so just today i talk to a property manager of a firm and he told me that only a property agent can attract tenant to the property.

Not suggesting you necessarily sell to them but it may give you an idea of what would make your property attractive. 

As far as actual track record/technical merit/history goes, I don't know much more than that--however at the meetup talk they tried to be as conservative with their numbers as possible which I found attractive (as opposed to hyping things up and pretending REI is some overnight venture).I also think Memphis Cash Flow mentioned Marathon property management as a good go-to sister company for managing properties--do you know of others that also reputable?

If the house needs any repair or updating (and I have rarely seen a house that didn't), you'll need to subtract that also to get to the price that is really attractive to the cash buyers.All that said, in this market, you likely could sell that house for 125k.

What I can share through my experience is that interest rates in Taiwan are attractive and property tax is virtually non-existent compared to major U.S. markets.  

(Cash Flow 400+/- per month)I think both options look attractive for my first deal, however, I guess my question is to what your opinions might be.
