(only move in to mid to lower quality rentals) If they have bad credit, less than 3x the rent in income, criminal charges or new on the job that is entry level with no previous history of being in the industry or career- denialIt is preferred to have one person qualify on their own and be the financially responsible in these instances. 

I prefer refi's if I were looking at long term rentals, going into syndications, or just looking for other investments (Gamestop to the moon!!!

I was hoping there would be a perfect fit there but have not taken a bit of time to go through and look at them more closely yet.You would know more than me but seems like just using a free application or a very low monthly app can make the difference if you don’t have a PM for your properties but ya just test the waters with each one hopefully one works better for you and your personal preference.

What strategy to you prefer? 

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.
