So if you focus on one city or one niche or one price range, or one type of sale, that is where your career will end up.   

I'm looking in the Central Texas area at SFR, 3br 2 bath and can find good properties around the $250,000 price range.

The building is in the $6,000,000 +/- value range and I have a primary mortgage of $650,000 +/-.

I got a property manager, an STR assistant, and a portfolio wide assistant. 

Im located in Colorado’s front range and a total rookie!

They range from  50k to 70k per year without cleaning.  

Sounds like you have a good understanding of the strategy.I normally work with clients by giving them a price range of a property they need to buy to get to their desired tax bracket.Best of luck.

Your range can be from going to your local library for free to spending 90K in some cases.

Due to my background in consumer lending, I am highly skeptical of paystubs and other address verification due to the widely available websites that are out there to generate forms relatively easily... so I like to verify the information by contacting the listed employer using their listed number on Google to avoid possibly calling a friend etc. 

I've noticed that oceanfront condos seem to be the only preferred option in the $400,000 to $500,000 price range.
