You can still find single-family homes in the $80k–$100k range and duplexes in the $130k–$150k range, even in C and C+ neighborhoods that are seeing steady improvements.

I have people in my organization who have experienced the same mis treatment.

We would love to work together with a organization that sells the property and has services like rehab network, financing, property management. 

Meanwhile, gross rents of $1,800+ for 3-bedroom single-families is an achievable figure, so it’s possible to generate cash flow if you lever modestly.There’s a bunch of other stuff that’s worth highlighting—the economy, demographics, neighborhoods, new construction, and more.

@Darrius LloydTo start your house hacking journey, research neighborhoods with potential for multifamily properties and balance affordability with tenant quality.

And are you targeting a certain zip code in LR or a certain neighborhood/area/school district?

The properties that I like the best are typically in the B/B- neighborhoods.

@Jason SinclairWhat do other homes in the neighborhood have that you would be selling or renting competition? 

We have an opportunity coming up from a family member who is willing to sell us my childhood home for what they got it for (240k) and the comps in that neighborhood are 600k+.

I have done some deals that barely have a little positive cash flow in neighborhoods that I know very well and know that the house should appreciate well and that I will have no problem always finding great tenants.Hope all this helps.
