Either first or 2nd position as long as there is enough equity to accomodate it; Ideally you'd want it to be a cashflowing property so there is sufficient cashflow to make the note payments so it's not coming out of your pocket.

However, like William said, I'd want to have the house vacant before close of escrow (ideally before I wired my money into escrow).

a general rule of thumb for the ideal kitchen flow is a TRIANGLE anchored by the Fridge, Stove, Sink.

A water leak can in or under a house can produce conditions ideal for their growth.

Ideally I would like wholesale pricing on American made cabinets.

Assuming a scale for A being Best and D being the worst neighborhoodsBuy cash flow properties in ideally B, B- To C+, C areas with good economics jobs etc.So if someone says they need $ 8000 in cash flow per monthWe would build the model as follows.

Ideally you would find a company that has everything under one roof.

@David Krulac sounds like the ideal situation ! 

@Arturo Limon , I'm new to SD and looking for deals to buy, ideally a 2-4 unit I can renovate.  

Ideally, I'd love to flip or cash out refinance if I could find a partner with the capital.
