Hello @Fulati,With that budget, I would look for houses in East Memphis, Cordova, or Bartlett.

House hacking, if you will. 

The strip of land is utterly worthless to anyone but him but he's happy to pay $450k to resolve everything without the courts input.I retain 100% of my building, 99.999% of my land, and 100% of my existing mortgage. 

But to answer your question, House canary is good for rent rates, zillow is a good tool for property data and for seeing what is for rent for how much, sales comps etc. 

House hack is the only option but even that might not be feasible.

If you walked into a bank, your pre-approval would likely never qualify for a house hack duplex.Did they count 75% of the expected rent towards your DTI? 

I am looking at different loan options but to break even (not having to put any money of my own in the house after the initial down payment) the current down payment required is that much. 

Purchase price: $499,990 5 bed 3 bath split level house in Hyattsville, 1875 sq ft

What most people fail to realize is that most of the turnovers at least the ones I’ve seen the house will need some repairs before a new tenant is placed.

Start by leveraging what you already have—consider tapping into equity through a HELOC, house hacking again with an FHA loan, or increasing cash flow by converting a unit to a short-term rental.
