We will do rehabs as financing allows and occasionally wholesale.

I also had a challenging life growing up - at 5 years old I was given to a wonderful family to raise me, my mother always worked (as a dancer on the Block in Baltimore) and had no time for me.At 12 years old I would ride the streetcars in Baltimore (Greenmount Avenue to North Avenue) selling newspapers, worked on a golf course carrying heavy golf bags and as a delivery boy for a restaurant during breakfast and lunch delivering food and washing dishes in the afternoon.

Occasionally notes come across my desk.

Also I do find the occasional crack-pipe or used condom in the yards.

I make it to Fairbanks occasionally. 

I'll do an occasional SFR deal for when it makes sense, as someone once mentioned "it's like picking money up on the side of the road", but will primarily stay focused on MF. 

Washers dryers, fridge stove microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, pots and pans, dishes and all utensils, bedroom suites, sofas and recliners, end tables, coffee tables, night stands, old style televisions, gas and charcoal grills, the list goes on.What I buy new: linens, towels, pillows, HDTVs.My STRs are for short term working people at a refinery.

Off the MLS (REOs, Short Sales and the occasional private seller);2.

Next, from what you said, it's my belief that you're already on the right track.Ann Bellamy pretty much shares my view - I have experienced that it's best to pretty much never sell anything, although there are a few properties that after years, just didn't fit the long term plan, so an occasional sale maaaaaaaaaaay be ok.Next, she said "buy more properties faster."

We do expect occasional problems like kids failing out, etc.
