C) prices as a result of A &B are in some cases 2x for stuff that was half price 6-12 months ago.

I'm basically covering the bare legal minimum, with a high deductible and low premium in order to cash flow better, but wifey no likey..

C) Much of the soil is bare, with no vapor retarderBy looking at it, things on top of my mind that needs attention is1. replace roof 2. replace furnace3. crawspace: 3.1 new vapor retarder, 3.2 fix leaking pipes. 3.3 fill the hole probably?

@Nitit ChartuprayoonIf your property is barely breaking even, dumping 60k into a house in hopes of it appreciating sounds like a lot of risk for little reward. 

But it hasn't really touched the barely functioning mechanical systems that have been band-aided together for decades. 

I do have to mention - tenants sometimes do not like this method because "John" that lives by himself in 500 sq/ft unit uses a TON of water while "Bob and three kids" in a 1200 sq/ft unit barely uses water at all. 

The best scenario is usually to break even where the rent covers the mortgage and taxes (insurance will be very low or non existent if you buy bare land, but if you purchase buildings you will have higher insurance to consider).Hope this helps.Take care!

You can either find something that you could BRRRR (buy rehab rent out) that will then cash flow, or find something that is stabilized and barely cashflows (if at all) and just bank on staying level and making money off the appreciation or selling in a few years. 

Given, I am barely starting out on my real estate investing journey.

I had an iHome WiFi multi sensor to verify temps, noise and light in the house, but it recently stopped working on my network so I am on the hunt for a replacement.Those are the bare minimums in my opinion.
