Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

If you can swing it, increasing your down payment to 25% or more might help boost your cash flow and make your investment even more sustainable.Your long-term goal of buying and holding, with a target of 20 properties, is definitely a winning strategy.

Good points I try to target a price range basically a starter  home  that is affordable in  A,B area . 

Quote from @Timothy Franklin: @Trevor FinnI would agree with your breakdown, but why overlook a potential to run the 91k subject-to with a targeted 6 month hold for flip or 18 month refinance?

When that’s not enough they go after personal assets, if your rental is in your personal name it’s targeted.

Best advice I would give here in Daytona is to focus on your target client.

I searched Redfin by random target zip codes, even in those states where median house prices are relatively high, and still was able to find scores of properties listed on MLS for less than $50,000.

I do not target a number I target a lifestyle.

How much profit you make depends largely on your targeted clientele and your property management. 

Even if you joined a good mentoring program in another location, they will probably tell you to start building a team in your target market, so the end result is the same.Again, I can only speak firsthand of the Sumrok program, but I can tell you that Brad's students are absolutely doing the things you mentioned in your two bullet points.
