My target purchase price is ideally under $150k as my long term goal is to pay them off as quickly as possible.

@Satyajeet Dodia, I agree if possible you should have your properties owned by an LLC. 

If possible you could even pay down another month on your investment property as well. 

We possibly made the mistake of posting pre-renovation photos for the first couple weeks. 

So, for everyone else who cannot possibly evaluate every deal in detail.

I'd love to chat more or possibly meet for coffee! 

Is there strong demand for rentals and is it potentially possible to rent a room for 1500-2000 depending on the location (slightly cheaper than a studio from what I've been seeing which is how I priced my rooms in AZ)?

I echo Nicholas, start investing in your area if possible.

So it’s possible to find a 2-4 unit building that has a big enough unit for a family.

If that's not possible, find a local investor and work on sourcing the deals to partner up.
