$800,000 sounds like an awfully expensive way to "dip your toes in the water" with real estate investing.Without even crunching the numbers, this sounds like an investment that could go either way.

I crunched the numbers a bit.

I've been crunching some of the numbers as outlined by numerous people here on BP for some of the houses in my area and producing cash flow on rentals just seems like a long shot. 

Gotta crunch those numbers.

But, I guess, once you have crunched the numbers, they are what they are and I have to make a decision about whether I am comfortable with them.In this specific case (with the amount at issue relatively small), I guess the decision, either way, wouldn't be horrible.

As I've crunched the numbers on possible deals I've realized that it makes more sense for a lot of my sellers to rent out their place.

Yeah - I should crunch the numbers myself.  

I've been crunching the numbers on some Texas cities, would be great to start talking to some local guys.

I've been crunching the numbers, and I haven't been able to generate a positive monthly cash flow with a 20% down payment. 

Another reason we thought about selling to Cash Buyers only was so we could eliminate the financing costs of the Rehabber in our number crunching to increase our offer amounts and get more accepted.
