I  Income:  The amount of property you can buy will be dependent on your Debt to Income ratio.  

I have a certain ratio per100 headcount (not households, not age, not sex) I use when decidingto buy or build in a town.

Quote from @Andrew White: Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment in San Antonio.

It specifically says it is not for real estate investment, but I believe you would be buying an operating business vs just real estate.This is so helpful Michael, thanks so much!  

If it had been my client buying this property, they would have paid a lot less even with the full commission factored in. 

Which do you think will be more competitive, buying from wholesalers or your own referrals?

I have the option to buy a 1,300-sqft 3-bed, 1.5-bath house in South End neighborhood of Stamford, CT, from a family member before it goes on the market.

If you have any notes on the properties you want to sell them, email me, to buy them off you.

I'm considering buying a house in nearby Palm Coast as I travel there for business.

I would suggest that you find a partner or mento who has done it before.Many of the investors that I work with in your position find that buying New Construction investment property from a builder is a better option.
