Well without question, your returns are higher when you leverage.Also to consider...if you are buying $50k properties, please have your eyes wide open and expect to deal with the problems that come with those properties. 

Keep in mind that there can be a wide range in the quality of inspections.

.- Landscaping, add nice garden up front, trim trees, remove overgrown vines from house siding- Remove old walkway and replace with new right angle walkway to driveway instead of street- Fix up front porch, new concrete probably- Repair any problem siding- Flooring has some unevenness, joists in crawl space/basement need to be added or adjusted.- Exterior paint, interior paint - HVAC and water heater appear new, roof appears new- Interior has some water stain marks, replace drywall patches- Replace kitchen with modern cabinets, granite, appliances- Oak floors downstairs hopefully can be refinished- Replace carpet upstairs with composite flooring or nice carpet - stairs are carpeted!

Depending on the specific sub-market, the right agent with access to pocket and off-market properties might be the angle you need to look into...

@Jean-Frank Dorvil with that wide a range both rental and flip properties as well as b,c or d properties I would say the neighborhood doesn't make near as much difference as the quality of the deal.
