Thank you for your response Jonathan.

Will rent for 1750/month.Capex items needed soon: roof, water heater, furnaceArea: A area, appreciation is at about 5% a year but average home price is ~$500K so this home will appreciate faster, this will have multiple offers on itDeal #2 - mixed use, small office with a 3 bedroom and a 1 bedroom over it.Ask: 325KCurrently fully rented on one year leases, bringing in 4775/month but only one tenant pays their own utilities plus owner is responsible for snow removal and landscaping. 

also we do not know what is going to happen with int rates, they are very high now, the economy is not good and it is not certain they will be coming down this year. we know there will be more responsible gov spending, so maybe rates will come down, no way to know...I think you need to know the market where you plan to buy well, and go from thereBest of luck
