And the purchase price of 1-2M fits within my budget so happy to hear that it’s attainable to achieve my NCF goal.

It is going to come down to the numbers that work for you, and the best management you can attain before you do anything. 

Do you believe interest rates are low enough still to attain those?

In my opinion that makes the list price difficult to attain.

Hello @Antonio Cucciniello,I think what you're looking for is realistic and certainly attainable. 

If you go the multifamily route, I would recommend doing a cost segregation study within the first 2 years to accelerate depreciation, save on taxes and increase cash flow so you can attain your next property quicker.

There are still houses in these areas that you can pick up for 100K and a 50% Delta (margin of Rehab Budget, Fixed Expenses, and Profit) is a totally attainable number depending on your skill level as a rehabber/ project manager. 

I've been interested in markets out east (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick) or possibly somewhere in Alberta, as the purchase prices seem to be much more attainable for a newbie, but again I'd love to get some insight form more experienced investors!

If you were in my shoes, what would be the best course of action you would take in order to attain your first property, get the rental income generating so I can eventually with time generate more properties and with more properties, more cash flowing in.

If you go the multifamily route, I would recommend doing a cost segregation study within the first 2 years to accelerate depreciation, save on taxes and increase cash flow so you can attain your next property quicker.I am bullish on Tampa because of Bill Gates multi billion dollar investment into downtown Water Street and the GasWorxx projects, both are transforming large swaths of the downtown and the urban core.Best of luck!
