Preferably multi family but I’d be open to trying out whatever works in my market.

A laptop may be preferred due to portability but if there are suggestions of desktops I will look into them. 

They're a family of four children so I prefer to not uproot them. 

Not if you're inquiring about current loan programs and requirements, and how long they have had those programs and the various loan types they prefer, and whether they keep or sell their conforming paper.   

My target market is Arizona, Colorado, or Oregon with a preference in Arizona.

We prefer apartments that require repairs.

They prefer the more solid granite slabs or paler colors.  

I'll never own a rental with one - personal preference.

These are my thoughts am I hope to hear from your opinion.On a side note, I tend to over-spend during rehab because I prefer make everything new or in good condition to avoid potential service calls from tenants as much as possible.

@Race Jones get in touch with a realtor, preferably one that's knowledgeable about the investing side of real estate.
