@Timothy Edwards Jr get your credit score up to at least 650. best to be in the 700 plus range.

This can range from minor inconveniences to the title company not recording the deed.  

If so, do you have a sufficient amount of equity available?

That's more the range that the property would appraise for, so that saves you several hundred dollars right off the top.Taking a look at the crime map for this area the past 6 months, besides some petty theft and home burglaries, it's pretty much free from violent crime (which is what you should worry about):Whereas the 6-plex posted above is riddled with crime.

We sold our home here in WA since prices were too high to resist and we have been searching diligently for the past year or so but haven’t found anything else here in our price range.

My preference is a duplex or quad but finding one in price range is a little difficult.

Oh well.I'll give a shout out to Frigidaire ranges, I've got like 10 and never any issues.

For the area it's in the rent is low compared to what I could be getting (some homes in the $1000 to $1150  range).  

I was stressing about maximizing rent but from what everyone described as long as I’m in the range I’m good.
