@Mohit Madaan There's a scene in the movie Act of Valor, based on a story of a team of Navy Seals, that I think is worth mentioning.

I would begin by determining which leads must be eliminated based on:1) Amount to cure too large for your budget2) Amount to cure unlikely to yield motivated prospect3) Eliminate corporate entities and perhsps churches4) Eliminate zip codes you don't want to do business in, if any7) I don't want vacant land deals, so I scrub those se8) I don't want commercial properties, so scrub those9) Use title company or other online sources for data correlation10) Use VA to scrub manually all repetitive tasks, once criteria and routine created I also perform other scrubs for situations that are proprietary to my ideal prospects.

I feel like my ideal first step would be to find a 3/2 1500-1700 sq ft property to buy, owner occupy for 12-24 months.

Ideally you remodel or value add before you sell.

We are overwhelmed by Bay Area prices but would ideally stay here.

The market is ideal for cash flow, but do not expect any appreciation. 

I was curious to see if there was a ideal percentage that should be maintained .yes I am getting ready to launch one.

Can you feel a vibration of thumping base or screams from an action movie?

Partnership: Limited Partnerships are ideal in Real Estate.

I know nothing about Charleston, WV, but  I did a zillow search, and found a lot under $50K, which to me would be ideal!
