These are all solid methods, and ideally you will have deals come from each of these.

What would be some ideal terms they would ask for? 

I would of certainly liked to had a bit more time but I think the seller was wanting her terms and I felt it was a good idea to structure it the way I did.obviously not the ideal way, kind of putting the cart before the horse.

Was your property located near the airport, or in the heart of the city making it an ideal pick over hotels?

Ideally, we'd like to do a combo house hack/BRRRR, but is this even possible?

For that although not ideal, you need to drive paid traffic to your site.Do a Google search for this: "The Forced Traffic & Conversion Strategy". 

Ideally I would like to get into duplex, triplex or multi-family with at least 3+ tenants I am still on the fence as to which area I should dive into and continue researching.

The ideal situation for me is to obtain a loan for $300k so that I may payoff my existing lender and finish the rehab of my home. 

You would then disconnect on of the wires on your best guess (ideally put a wire connector over this wire so nobody accidentally gets shocked).

I’m not sure how it works on the land lord / property management side but all I can say is for the investor it’s ideal.
