The property you referenced is the only one on the MLS under $100k, so in the last couple of years, it's been more difficult to find deals like these. 

All of these came through a combination of researching on our own or consistent recommendation from fellow brokers and investors and it was not too difficult. 

If you choose to NOT self manage and use a PM in this area, it is definitely difficult to cash flow. 

While this is difficult while managing out of the country it will be worthwhile of any legal issues with the manager or the tenant arise.

I have owned 3 brokerages and while the test is not super difficult..

@Michael Smythe I 100% agree that some tenants play the memory loss game and like to be difficult.

Taxes much to high ,and the inspectors are very difficult.

And even required book keeping is more difficult. 

that is not how cash flow works.it's also going to be challenging to get lending on properties priced that low - it may be difficult to get standard conventional financing.and finally, the lowest prices are going to be in the most challenging neighborhoods... which will come with additional challenges.some suggestionscan you spend some time researching neighborhoods more broadly, going to REIA meetings, and building a network?  

Aven's rates were quite a bit higher, but I understand the risk tradeoff.However, I'm annoyed by these companies that make it difficult to get someone on the phone and want to do all biz by email!
