Before you submit an offer I would also make sure you know all the additional expenses that you may me overlooking, is it separate metered for water gas and electricity.

Were you covering all your expenses by renting the property at $850?

I do BRRR as well and always do tile in bathroom.. looks sharp and not expensive.   

The broker has expenses he needs to pay, no doubt - rent, utilities, etc.

It is also expensive to keep going through the tolls just to get there, and the tolls are going up.

I am not at that stage yet to spend $1000 + travel expenses for a seminar/workshop. 

It brings in roughly 2k for me after all expenses.

You don't want the liability as a rental and your expenses are going to be a lot higher for insurance and maintenance, and I will promise you that your tenants will never take care of it the way you will.   

Income - student debt - mortgage payment - monthly expenses = monthly savings If you're going to go down this route, I highly recommend that you house-hack your first deal.

Just make sure to save up some of the money for a reserve to cover upcoming expenses like taxes, renovations, etc.
