@Kim Sparks if you are in Nashville you need to keep company with real estate people in Nashville and start to build you network.

I've been reading varying posts on these forums for a few hours today, but figured asking a blanket question would be meaningful as well.John

I don't necessarily expect to cover my mortgage but want to supplement my cost of living while building equity.I'm extremely new to this and realize I may realistically still be a couple years out from pulling the trigger but I want to be making meaningful steps towards what I need to do to be ready.

My name is Jose Asencio, I am a Philadelphia native who has had a real estate passion spark in me from an early age.

If you can get it at the right price, go for it, but there should be a meaningful discount.When determining the right price, Account Closed is exactly right - use ONLY comps on a main street and preferably, the same street, sold within the last 6 months if possible.One thing you light look into - here in MA, our DOT has a website where they post traffic counts from all over the state. 

My info:I sparked up a conversation with the next door owner of one of our rentals (townhouse).

Hi all,Ok sounds right, and yes with single family homes it would be hard to have a positive or meaningful cash flow.  

Below is the story that sparked the conversation for this.My wife was talking to a police officer at work and it came up in conversation that we do REI.

However, my current job is very accommodating for a side hustle, but is draining enough to be a daily spark of motivation towards quitting!

In my experience running an accounting firm and renting SFRs, treating people well is far cheaper in the long run, and far more meaningful!
