To make things as easy as possible, I send a monthly Zelle request about a week before the rent is due.

It could provide more cash flow but your leverage would still be less due to the total value of that property compared to the 4plex3) Is there an easy way to understand what price range I should stick to in my area, and should I focus on the best market or focus on the best price for properties? 

That's easy compared to trying to fight and erroneous $13k water bill (a real issue we had) or an insurance policy tripling (that too).

That was first BIG red-flag for me, pitching it all as simple, easy, sure thing, quick turns etc..

@Zach Howard the basics of the Rental Purchase Calculator is easy to understand and replicate.Google and you can find many similar spreadsheets for free.

But as said above it is not an easy job and the salaries are not great working for someone else. 

I knew legislation made CD for residential property too risky with violations too easy and consequences too harsh with compliance too difficult and uncertain so no attorney or title company will get involved.  

A handy search bar in the upper right makes it easy to find previous discussions, blogs, podcasts, and other resources.

Its a quick and easy addendum to prepare. 

Zachary,It's pretty easy to find a solid cash flowing REI under $200K in either Indiana or Ohio.
