My home in Pearl City is appraised in the mid $700s...2000sqft, 3/3/2 with studio extension...so I realize that my house is not the normal single family home...but I did buy in early 2000s so my entry price was low like yours. 

I am currently listening to "The ABC's of real estate investing" by Ken McElroy on audio book.
