Some are telephone sessions rather than face to face, which I prefer.

It's hard to tell without knowing other factors, but I personally prefer duplex, which is just a lot easier to rent out than 4plex.

we have talked to 3 different PMs and they are different in several ways, but they all can do the job.... its a preference as to what i want them to do...granted i am in vancouver washington, and state to state could be different with the regulations and requirements.....  

Also consider that property management can be used for renting only if you prefer to manage yourself.

Personally, I would prefer 90 days because markets are always changing.

We looked at some new construction but I prefer older houses and not being 3 foot away from your neighbors house.

@Mindy JensenI currently have a realtor sending me updates daily, along with checking all the retail sites (Loop Net, Redfin etc) I prefer to stay close to home as I like to self manage (4 plex in AZ have had for 4 years and still not comfortable with repair cost etc, on 2nd management co and its better, but everything else is here within 15 min of my home) any ideas of better searches?

I'm a hustler so hard work does not concern me at all, however, I do prefer to have a strategy and man with this wholesale business there seems to be no right or wrong way to do it.

Also, what is your preferred price range?

I ask applicants as I've found many have no problem telecommuting or arranging their schedule around repairs if needed, and some actually prefer it that way.
