I guess I need to focus on one or two areas where a PM would be happy to service.

Its works for us at the moment, and the ever dwindling inventory and Mom and Pop owners, i believe everyone should be focusing their efforts on doing this as well. 

For me the power to quickly say "get the F out", far outweighs my concerns that a tenant might leave for "greener pastures"

I've looked up and down my entire state and even if I focus on lease optios or subject to's, the cash flow has to be there for me.

Rental properties appeal the most to me, but I really like the capital-raising power of flips, so I am open to everything.

Since then I have gone down the rabbit hole at BP and we have pivoted to focusing on Out of State BRRRR investing a-la-David Greene.
