I’m not trying to cheap out but I can do a lot with that.

Very difficult area to be a landlord.Tenant base is lifer tenants. very tough on the housestheft is rampant you leave a home vacant for more than a few days and you HVAC AC unit will take a walkKids break in and trash them.YAZOO Clay screws up the foundations big time.And lastly with those homes they were built so cheap in many instances they are just functionally obsolete and take way more maintenance than other areas of the country.

Quick/cheap flights from Philadelphia, where my primary residence is.5.

You'd pay them 5k to bird dog for them, and they'd throw you crumbs if they closed on your lead...if you were lucky. 

Resist the temptation of a cheap property/market.It's also going to feel like you are not making any progress in the first year or two.

Additionally, the price point is still cheap enough to find the 1% rule and positive cash flow and there's amazing appreciation potential! 

Then my husbands aunt offered to sell us her place for this cheap, and I wanted to hop on it if at all possible so thats why I am here trying to figure this out lol

Like Having a great base of index funds and a fully funded IRA before throwing savings into crypto or the newest AI quantum-powered dog walking business! 

Additionally, the price point is still cheap enough to find the 1% rule and positive cash flow and it's super landlord friendly (so you will never have to go through a 12 month eviction or anything close to that!).

Like wouldn’t it be better to get a license and throw your own offers?
