Obviously our marriage and our joint happiness is so much more important than becoming financially free a couple years earlier.

Hi Jamie, Congrats on your incredible real estate journey so far! As

Well it turns out the overall price they're charging is $89,000 and it is so far outside of my budget I have no way of paying this.Does anyone know how I should approach this?

It feels like the same city and is so close to the hot areas of the Highlands neighborhood and the Berkeley neighborhood.)

I am in the same boat and completely agree with you in that the rental market does seem to be changing quite a bit in recent times- much more difficult to get good qualified tenants these days and decent tenants seem to have their pick of the litter - often very flaky and uncommitted because there is so much supply out there.Rent price is definitely a key issue but what's the more likely outcome of a significant drop in rent price below market?

As far as repairs and maintenance if your looking for small rehab deals that price range your looking at will be very slim and if you find something in that price would most likely be in your C or D areas, with that being said back to first question are you willing to manage them or not?

Yes, this exists and credit/liquidity requirements are not onerous.Many satisfied customers over the years and now open in select metro areas in 10 states: TX, NM, AR, MO, IN, OH, NC, GA, TN, ALWe are happy to assist with questions or inquiries.Implicit in this response is the assumption that the deal is so, SO good, that you can buy it SO LOW, that with 100% financing at acquisition AND rehab, you still come in at 75% to the ARV. 

As far as tenants moving from house to house, I assumed given the size of this town that this might be the case, but Rob researched it and confirmed that this hasn’t happened.

As far as a second/vacation home and STR would you consider MTR to travel nurses/business people?  

This was our personal home, doing a rehab or for a rental that's vacant would be much easier as far as moving furnitture, boxes, etc.
