it is definitely a viable strategy, but many people assume they will automatically be successful solely because... you must make money buying at those attractive lower price points!

Like others have mentioned, there’s appreciation, depreciation, leverage, and tax benefits that produce a compelling risk adjusted return.

@Jack Cottrell You Vacancy & Maintenance percentage are aggressive and may only work for a Class A rental/tenant.If the is a Class B or C rental that will attract Class B or C tenants, you should strongly consider increasing those percentages.NOTE: we deal with a LOT of Class B & C rentals, so we replace "Vacancy" with "Vacancy/Tenant Nonperformance".
