I am planning on being married in the next year and a half and my partner and I are currently saving up money so that we can start investing in real estate, we are targeting fall of next year to start and should be able to have $80,000-$85,000 to invest.

I am using Dave Meyer's 10% Target spreadsheet to analyze our first deal(s), and I love it.

When you have a team around you they can help you decide on neighborhoods and types of properties that are in demand in your target market. 

Or, you may be in a target hail prone area and current roof inspects as solid for at least another few years, which hold good chance % of getting hit by hail and thus diminishing your expense ~50% if not more if have right coverage. 

Target cities with job growth or up-and-coming neighborhoods with revitalization projects.

If your targeting a payment of $2300 that means that you need to make at least $4,600 per month gross or $55,200 annual gross.

And what price point your targeting.

Your target audience is renters; they are not homebuyers.

Your target of 6% is in line with the local market for 5 units or more.

Granted, the current value gets you to your target cash-out number of $125,000 which is another option.
