@javierperezEviction histories have traditionally not been available except of you do a search at your closest court house. 

Since this may be the wrong time of year for a long term tenant, could another option be better band aid until the Spring/Summer?

Unfortunately several keep opening threads and spreading this kool-aid. 

As for your studies I think the most valuable skills will be in finance and accounting type classes as it will aid you in analyzing and underwriting deals.

The broker/agent who comes closest to the average price opinion of what the property will sell for wins the big prize.

We like finding a lot of our deals in neighborhoods that are closest in proximity to downtown Indy.  

You are forgetting something that is extremely important in answering the question.Exit strategy.With SFR in an A or B neighborhood, when I retire I can sell them off one-by-one to owner occupants.With a portfolio of SFR in C or D neighborhoods, I may be limited to investors (or have to carry notes or do other things that cost effort and money.)So for me, the answer is the B property at $55k, which comes closest to the sweet spot in terms of rent and exit.The question is moot for me anyway

My closest city is Alpena, MI, in northeast Michigan.

I moved into the Austin market from Brooklyn, NY 3 years ago and agree with Kelby.The closest thing I have seen to a positive cash flow within the desirable metro areas are duplexes.  

When one card gets paid off then the money used for that goes towards the card that is next closest to being paid off.
