Do you have a price range in mind for the various properties you might acquire? 

Smaller markets like Ocala, Spring Hill, and Palmetto can be great for affordable buy-and-hold strategies, while Gainesville offers unique student rental potential.

Hi Amanda,Lake County, CA is a unique place.

Maybe I'll make a policy to schedule all our leases to end in a spring/summer month range. 

First step for you is to study investing in income properties.Generally a rental property will have in the range of 4% -50% of rental income going toward expenses to maintain the investment before debt repayment (mortgage). 

States like Nevada, Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania each offer unique opportunities, from Nevada’s no state income tax to Ohio’s affordable B-class neighborhoods, Michigan’s up-and-coming cities, and Pennsylvania’s mix of cash flow and appreciation.

Price RangeDefine your financial boundaries based on available capital and borrowing ability:For Class A & B, financing typically covers 75%-80% of the purchase price, allowing you to buy properties in the $6M-$12M range if you have $2.3M total cash.For Class C & D, due to higher risk, the price range might be reduced to $5M-$10M with the same cash.5.

@Andrew C.I have the same questions about it as well.. for example, you now have say 5 leases that likely are all for different date ranges/terms and deposits etc. do you do all males or all females together - I'm assuming this depends on the state you're in?

I'll be in the market for a duplex/triplex in the $400k range that I will owner occupy and use a 5% down loan.

It's about 20 miles away in an entirely different sub-market.Great price range though.
