Most of the stuff I'm looking at are SFH in the $75-100k range with $10-$30k worth of rehab. 

San Bruno is good, there're few that's being targeted as prime area for flipper (buy 800k sell 1.4m).Around Berkeley is good too especially near the hill.Please do note when asset price is 1 mil, the trajectory of asset appreciation is different than the one below 1 mil.So these area when we said "Berkeley", has large area ranges, usually the higher elevation home is always priced way higher than the downtown.

You will appeal to a wider range of buyers without tenants in the home. 

I am thinking about buying a rental investment property in Tampa in the $300K range that I can cash flow from and build equity in, while still saving money by renting here.

I know the range of markets in the title is quite wide but like I said I am early on in the process and wanted to pick markets where I spend time during the offseason (I spend most of the offseason in New Jersey but spend time visitng parents and grandparents in south carolina and florida).

In those two areas, the GRM on the deals I have data for ranged from 94 to 106.

This is personal preference, but I guess just join any HIIT class is sufficient rather than working hard alone.

I have 12-doors there and am very active in the market outside my own stuff.We're typically doing cash BRRRR's in the $75k-$95k range right now.

There should be something in that range that works for you. 

I agree a spreadsheet would be sufficient for me with only two units.
