Real estate is sometimes a roller coaster with ups and downs, I guarantee you if you're not both on board, when things are rough, it will be that much harder. 

Get a 4 or 5 bedroom + place if you can and rent out every spare bedroom.I also think when you are new trying to skate by with minimal CF on each deal is a very risky proposition, because its easy to make calculation errors or discount expenses that you didn't properly account for and then end up in a tight situation, with that much equity your primary goal should be to not lose it. 

Close guess on rehab but I think it's higher than that...but under my $175K budget.Sorry for the sensory roller-coaster! 

It just has a different feel than typical roller coaster park.  

I tried the standard traps and the rollers into a bucket of water and caught a few with both, but these worked the best.

As I get older my appetite for risk gets less and less and I don’t need roller coaster rides I like the merry go round

Even if they parked on top of the only ice patch on the entire property.We have cantilever gates which have Rollers along the ground.

If you are betting on high appreciation then it might be a bit of a roller coaster.

Find a good "rock n' roller" (sheetrock person) and see if he/she can cover it.Or, Get a hoe or spade with a flat blade and drag it toward you to scrape off the ceiling, if you push you will usually dig into the rock and scar it, so pull evenly.

A great private community with open, green space with splash pads, ice-skating rink, walking trails, an amphitheater, and more.
