The median home price is also very low nationwide which creates a low barrier to entry.

I'm looking for super low cost, or preferably free.

@Jay Fayz for SFR (1-4 family) Classifications are mostly opinion-based.Not aware of anyone tracking eviction rates, except Evictions Lab nonprofit that doesn't like landlords.Here's some info that might helpt:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Maybe I'm no longer a low risk bond investor, maybe I'm parking my money in $VOO instead, CRE REITs, or perhaps higher risk higher return bonds. 

Looking to construct a duplex at a reasonable cost but also quality for long term durability.Thank you!

If it discharges 5 foot from the building and there is a low spot running back to the building, then it is going down hill back to the building.

@Kristin MathernI would pay it given no keys were provided, it wasn’t specifically addressed/mentioned in your lease, you were provided the opportunity to address/fix yourself with a 25-30 dollar replacement from Lowe’s/Home Depot, and lastly, it was an existing situation that could have been avoided/prevented at move in.

The market in Racine is much different than Kenosha and we have been having a hard time getting quality tenant applicants.

Seems really low for all that work in any part of the country these days IMO. 

Not a full fledged house hack, but enough to take the sting out of the rate we got.Not all of Citrus Heights is the same, but the area near Fair Oaks/Orangevale/Carmichael has a good balance of price and quality.
