Narrow your criteria down to what kind of house you want and the loan to value ratio 1-60% or so.

@Shaquetta ChittamsAll I did was remove the $1,000 rental income from unit B and left everything else the same as you had it.

Just for the sake of it: since tenant is not giving landlord numbered bills which tenant is expecting to receive back exactly the same and nor is the landlord required to give back the "exact same thing" (because, with cash/money, there is no such thing) one could, technically, have money of tenant A in the "general security deposit account" and also the money from tenant B and so on.

Your price range will determine a lot and will allow you to narrow down the zip codes for your search.I am a Realtor here and have experience with both condos, multi family, as well as single family home rentals, so feel free message/ call me if you have any further questions or would like me to assist you in finding your next property.

I also compose music for various high school bands. 

Just looking for feedback, first hand experience, or advice as I get into the business and try to narrow down my focus. 

You might want to narrow the type of properties.

Narrow your focus and create a competitive advantage. 

I dont completely understand the underwriting risk part but you are saying as the spread gets narrower, things start to get bubbly, right? 

The narrow path between the two building more than likely violates a building or fire code.
