Ideally all permits are closed before I list the house.My statements above are what I believe the process is.

Specifically create a system to scrub those that don't meet your criteria (which you must set, not others).I like cases with lots of equity, small mortgages (ideally in default).

It was ideal as the previous owner used all pex for the 2nd floor unit.Water authority tech was out and had new meters on in 30 min.

I guess ideally my end game was to own about 6 properties out right, where i can draw about $1000 from each property per month, I feel like 6 property is enough for me to retire if i choose to, but still small enough where i can manage it all myself.thanks

Pete Beach/Treasure Island would be ideal.

Single family cash flowing homes for $40,000 to $60,000 would be ideal however I am also willing to rehab distressed homes in the right neighborhood.

**ideally we would like to negotiate a seller financing deal, conserving capital.

I am  looking for serious investor(s), ideally those living in the above areas, to team up.

Not exactly the ideal real estate investing market, however. 

Hey @Jacob Pereira Ideally, I would get basic cable internet service (in my area it costs me about $35/month) without an annual contract.
