Property value and risk tolerance will play into your ultimate decision.  

When you decide what you want to focus on, then you can begin to look at options that make sense for your area of interest and tolerance.

Your options really depend on a lot of factors such as how much cash you have, your risk tolerance, how much the house is worth, how much the rehab will be, etc.My gut says to start advertising for an end buyer such as a rehabber and see if anyone jumps on it.

Michael,nothing wrong with that to start out, but only use what you need to get the house and some repairs if need be, mortgage the purchase. you want to try and keep as much of your personal money, personally for your own emergencies. then you can start using your investment properties as a vehicle to fund other investment properties without touching your own money. my rule of thumb is never be in dept for more than 50% of your net worth, but that's what i am comfortable with, that's up to your own risk tolerance.

Hi Evan,It depends on your risk tolerance.

That way they can get their feet wet while determining their own personal risk tolerance.

In conjunction with the solid landlord-tenant laws this tenant competition yields a better understand amongst tenants that lack of compliance is not tolerated much!

It depends on the  investor, your risk  tolerance and  where you are  in your  investment  journey.   

They, in my experience, will send you to a competitor who can handle your buisiness of their tolerance for investment SFH is maxed out at the moment (happens sometimes from bank to bank.)

I have no interest (no pun) in ARMs, the future is too unforeseeable for my risk tolerance level.
