I closed on 14 mid Sept.

. $100k doesn't go far out here but there are still deals to be had. 2 family, full rehabs in the lower to mid $100k range come my way occasionally. 

Over time, a good bet would be to save up enough to find a two-family to house hack with lower money down and move there and rent out this one you own outright which would cash flow nicely. 2-1 single-families can be great for mid-term rentals as well which can 1.4-2.5 your cash flow.

@Abdur-Rahman Felton My sister invests in Texas and has a mid-sized portfolio.

For the past two years, I have been doing mid-term and short-term rentals for two of the bedrooms. 

I am a Realtor in NC with one mid term rental. 

If so, and if your HOA allows, you could market this as a mid-term furnished rental and charge a premium for rent.

The latest rates and terms I have seen are for rates in the mid 6% to 7% range. 

If you have $50k to invest then you will probably be looking at properties in the mid-to-high $100s (assuming you're putting 20% down + closing costs and a little cushion).

While I was touring 26 Ella, I also ran into a guy in his mid-late 20s who bought a 3plex up the street.
