I graduated college, joined the work force and have been pushing forward my career, and now, 6 years in, yearn for something that will provide me with financial freedom sometime not-too-far down the road.

I am looking at this as a full time career, and am willing to do much of the legwork myself when appropriate, in case anyone was wondering about my expected level of involvement.

Ten years ago 100$ a door worked  in non appreciating or areas with historic pricing that really never moves  IE local investors all back into the deals the same.. 100. a door never really worked.. you one bad turnover or a few months skipped rent or eviction from going negative.. and if there is no upward movement in value and I mean REAL appreciation not just 3% a year on 50k home  that's a whopping 1,500  which you would never realize. 

Hello, I am newly interested in starting a career in real estate and it seems like real estate investing would be the way to go as far as how much money you could possibly make and the time/effort put into it.

Doesn’t look too bad .

Some conventional lenders won’t finance it either depending on how bad it is.

We gave buyer 5000 credit I'm not counting holding cost because we were living there, so that was our cost of housing.We lost about $400, but that's not too bad since going into it we weren't thinking about a flip.

One is comparable in size and only .50sf but it’s in a bad location.

Cons - you may end up with a bad property manager and deal with more issues.

I've had bad luck with supposed property managers who can talk the talk but not walk the walk.
