There's probably no "do this" and it works for everyone so keep gathering different opinions.The way I view a "good deal" might be different than how you view a "good deal"...so let's look at it from an "average" person's perspective.  

I think the average home sale price in Shelby County is ~$220k and the Greater Atlanta Area encompasses 3 counties; Fulton, DeKalb, and Cobb County.

I found this chart with cap rate averages across the nation.

This means you would have to drive by 10,000 homes, and review each home to look for different signs of distress.Now imagine that it takes on average 10 seconds (some homes may take 1 second, while others may take 120 seconds) to quickly look at each home for physical distress.

I dollar cost average, more or less, with this too.  

Real estate investing is a forgiving world; the average person can still make money even with some big mistakes.

My total gross revenue is averaging $10k a month.

Something to consider for the average investor that is curious about DSCR, there are plenty of fine print items. 

And while there are good guests/tenants at all price points, the averages tend to be that lower price = harder on property.If good area, the price implies major renovations, in which case, I would think you are looking at well over $100k rehab.  

@Peter W.The question that changed my life was Are you working hard for your money or is your money working hard for you.Making more income does require time, but does the average person have their money working hard.
