Consider low down payment options and get pre-approved for a mortgage.

I have not had one minimum down payment sale even though its up to 800k in our market for fha.. that low down and todays rates for sure dont go together.. so what i see is equity roll up .. 

@Shrikant Kakani- thanks ...if you  dont need to use financing - disreagrd the following tip ..if you will need to use a loan to acquire your 1st investment property - I would recommend getting the formal loan pre approval step completed ..this is free  and it will help answer many questions you have  and  help get you organized and  prepared .

That is a fact.So to answer the OG poster's question, schools (and all around location) should play a roll in your decision of purchase and how much to pay for it.

I think it's the future and I'm 90% sure we are rolling it out this summer, just nailing down the specifics. 

This is not a change of circumstances but your pre-mediated plan.

So i started out for cash flow and now working to the appreciation to get rich.As you can, roll one cash flow into an appreciation play slowly. 

Hello Raphael, Its best to use Hard money for fix and flips until you can grow your bank roll.

@Allen Zhu-  thanks ..Try finding and working with a single agent for each sperate area you are considering ....if you are needing to use financing - get pre-approved before you begin looking - good luck

You could sell that and roll the profits into multiple downpayments closer to you so you can start to streamline management better and not pay for it.
