This is a new area I've just started exploring and want to see if y'all have any recommendations or things to watch out for...

I've just always wanted to ask this question as so many podcasts are about getting started, how to find the money to buy the houses etc..but I've only found 1 podcast that addressed actually paying the properties off.   

Of course there are numerous ways to find properties for sale but I've just been browsing the typical websites(Zillow,trulia etc.) and homes are priced pretty high out here these days.

I currently live in a condo that I have a mortgage on and recently found another condo down the street from were I live that is in a good area but needs some work.

I have never done a deal and have just been learning as much as I can for the past few months so I'm curious to know what other more experienced people think.The property is a SFR, 2 bed & 1 bath, 855 sq. ft in Toledo, OH (which I've seen there's plenty of people in the forums who invest there, but I didn't do any research into this area in particular, I've just been analyzing a bunch of deals and the numbers associated with them to get more practice).Location aside, just looking at the numbers (assuming mine are all correct), this is a decent deal, right?

I've just been using the crime map on trulia, but I don't know if it's really the best way to go.

4) I've just learned that carpets are rated differently for durability and that your carpeting should depend on the expected traffic in that room.

I've just recently moved to Key West and the region is a little bit wonky.

Here's my Part 1 post in case you missed it.Due to the appreciation of Las Vegas, NV over the past 2 years, I have witnessed my condo appreciate from a purchase price of $120k to ~$160k in just under 2 years.I have recently found out about a strategy of using a HELOC to buy a cash flowing investment property. 

I've just started posting myself but I've noticed a few posters from the Tulsa area.
