The amount of rehab will be the factor that decides if it is a deal or not.

Easy is certainly a factor for me, and the tenants.

Yes, the mortgage is part of it, but there is also insurance, water, vacancy and all the other stuff that must be factored into the price.

I was reading the reports a while ago and there is part where it explains what factors raise and lower my score.

Are the vacancy, maintenance, property management, cap ex also being factored in with those expenses?

Then, make sure you factor in the additional investment for your repairs, and make sure you pay low enough to make a spread.For example, lets say you are looking at $250K homes that need $20K of work

That's a big factor in your operation expenses. 

That might be the driving factor for making this decision.

Technology and social changes are the most determining factors for respondents. 91% believe that technology will change the way we use real estate assets.Cars without driver and incremental use of car sharing, will free the space in the cities, with less space necessary for car parks.The Internet will definitely modify the real estate business, both in retail and residential.The 3-D printers will provoke that it will not be necessary to store products, nor even to move them, since they can be generated at the desired time and place.The analysis of data allows a better understanding of the behavior of potential customers, as well as measuring the experience in the process and the satisfaction of those who are already customers.

If I put the entire 32k toward a down payment on a 400k multi unit, total monthly would now be $2500 or so - likely still able to house hack and it would be VERY close on the cash flow (depends on a myriad of factors).
