Also want active RE income from rehabs (primarily SF, but could also be small MF or even small retail).Other criteria/wants on the list:-  Mountains...real mountains, not hills or far off across the grasslands mountains, but real mountain views and access to hiking and skiing, etc.-  Family friendly and decent schools- Within 1 hour of a really good children's hospital and an even closer decent ER.- Within 1 hour of an airport- Low taxes!! 

This is actually also a benefit sometimes if you plan to take an active roll in the association you might have more control over turning around or improving an ailing condo association.

A “company” that wastes their marketing dollars mailing to houses where title transferred in the last three months and that appear to be active construction sites isn’t one I could see myself sitting down with.

This is assuming that you are not an active investor.

Before you go the traditional way and get a duplex, decide for yourself whether you want to be an active or passive investor?!

@Danielle Dunn Consider reaching out to @Joe White --- he manages rentals in Philadelphia and he is an active member on BP.
