I know this is off-topic--can I ask why you've chosen to exclude those professions?

but I guess that's part of the gamble.

No, I can't say which will fit your chosen career path.

Understanding your chosen market is crucial-don't try to accomplish this from a computer 1,000 miles away.I think if you find the right market you won't be aiming for $100 a door, $400 a door is completely possible.

I know you're not supposed to gamble on future appreciation, but there are barely any houses available in this price range, the location could not be much better, and the yard is fenced and large.

lol, it's a gamble and I'm very nervous about how it will turn out for me.

Hi @Gary Parker Regardless of how you buy, if you sell on terms as an Investor, and you have a due on sale clause with an existing commercial loan, you will have that to gamble with.

Flipping is a gamble.

I know, it's a huge fumble but one that I undertook as a gamble and I lost.2) I requested the original lease from the owner, at least twice and he either couldn't or didn't want to supply them.

Find someone that comes highly recommended from a friend, family, real estate agent, etc who charges a fair price and you will have a sucessful project anything less and you are gambling.
