The agent we recommend is Tom Hernandez - he does a great job - just shoot me a message if you need his contact info.

My comment there was the same as it is here - the problem all these people have is not working a regular job. 

Between a demanding FT job (that I enjoy,) a wife who also works FT, and two young children, I have no real desire to "all in" to real estate as a FT career at this point in my life.

I will try my best to get the job done.

His wife who is in college for a degree that will lead to a great job with great pay when she graduates in June, now has full rent to pay, plus the cost of raising 6 kids by herself. 

I have 9ft ceilings, but adding a whole new framing and moving trimouts would be a much bigger job.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560, little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

Doing these make their job easier which will benefit you. 

So, you're not really doing a good job making a solid argument here.

Additionally, the macroeconomics here has seen significant growth - population and jobs are both growing, and major companies started moving and developing here (Intel, Google, Amazon, FB, etc).
