SFR may be the best bet.

It's going to suck when i have to leave to go to where their is investment oppurtinity.I read rich dad poor dad when I was like 13, along with how to win friends and influence people, and think and grow rich.

Identify a target market that you’re going to flip forMany flippers focus on a generic, poorly-defined homebuyer.

The best bet might be contact local management companies, they should know the market well.

I'd bet your good taste in fixing the house up has more to do with your sale than the video ;)

However, the return would be poor and your opportunity costs would be pretty high.

My rental has a few leaks from a poorly done flip at the hose bib on an enclosed patio and under the sink from the spray hose and garbage disposal.  

If you had another management company handling it differently in the past, I am not sure that they were doing it properly.I do find one of the most important things that landlords can do is keep good open communications with their property managers.We never have problems with owners questioning us on the things that we do and are always happy to explain why were handling something a certain way.I am amazed sometimes that the initial attitude and some of our owners can be very poor and do not make for good working relationship.When dealing with your management company try to keep things on a positive note.

That's about it.I do know that investing is never a surefire bet, but I also know that real estate is about as safe a bet as one can make so I'm jumping on board.My goals are pretty straightforward: I want to create an income stream of between $5k and $10k per month within a year.

We took a page out of "rich dad poor dad" and used other people's money.
