Thanks to everyone who took time to answer my questions I had about this endeavor.

Not really much of an answer to your question but definitely something to think about.

Hey Aaron, the answer to your question has been removed, I am curious if you found what you were looking for.

Thanks a lot for your time and answers

Full disclosure, I am also a commercial REALTOR® that specializes in multifamily property investment, so I would be more than happy to help you out or answer any questions that you might have.As far as single family investment REAs in the area, I highly recommend Doug Duncan, Don Beard, and Lisa Victor.

Is anyone able to answer which is method is the cheapest.

I've just started the "Long Distance Real Estate Investing" book by David Greene, so hopefully that will answer a lot of questionsThanks for your time and I look forward to chatting with everyone.

That said, if you keep your foot in their *** 24/7 then they will have a different incentive ;) EXPECT WHAT YOU ACCEPT when you don't get an answer back for 7 days, you must make it painful for them.

Sorry I've absolutely combed forums looking for the catch in this method and I can't seem to find these specific answers..BTW, thanks SO much you both are insanely helpful. 

@Brandon Miller there are too many variables at work to answer such a short question.
