So no investor is going to loan money on a property in cyber currency, when it's possible the money they get back might be 40% less than what they thought it was because of a flash crash at the wrong time. Real

We will be full time real estate investors, so no need to worry about 9-5 job restrictions. 

I am a long time real estate investor, mostly in my local area. 

My goal is to maintain a certain amount (2-4x the size of the equity required alongside debt )as we pursue deals.

@Kole Kingslien, each property is listed separately on the Schedule E, so I would highly recommend maintaining separate records for each property.

We have a clause in our leases that landscape is extra $x.xx per month or the tenant can agree to maintain.

I'm a loan originator for a family office and we do these types of loans all the time. Rates

@Andrew Linscott My husband and I are full time real estate investors and also run The Southern Maine Real Estate Investors Association.

We don't own any condos or townhomes in our portfolio, but having personally lived in both, they tend to attract no-maintenance types who either have busy professional/personal lives, not enough money to afford to live in a standalone home in the area, looking for included amenities (pools, tennis courts, etc), or don't want/don't know how to fix & maintain anything. 

There are cons to the condo (HOA and cost as mentioned above), but I find that it is more convenient to manage remotely because all of the amenities are maintained by someone else.
