I'm talking in an ideal world, where the tenant has left the unit reasonably clean and there are no outstanding maintenance issues...Do you paint?

Btw, my completely unbiased opinion is that Northern California would be the ideal place to host the event. :-)

Now that you mention it, it strikes me that these wouldbe ideal if you have an empty rental unit and youdon't want dust to accumulate on hard wood floors.Just set one loose.

My ideal first property would keep me in the 100-135k range.

Ideally I'd do a BRRRR but it's my first deal and I have very limited personal funds.

I will likely end up following the commercial RE path to get a job in that industry right out of school but ideally, I want to find a job in commercial RE where I can learn some skills that can be applied to residential RE investing as well.

Ideally, I would like to be able to call out a specific zip code and/or buyer type (divorcees, out-of-state owners, etc.) and canvass that group. 

Ideally you would place each asset in it's own LLC, or just set up a Series LLC as @Costin I. mentioned.

Seems like as a rental it is ideal.

Ideally rent would increase over time, and further appreciation would occur, but there is no guarantee.
