Eric, to me the maintenance of a humidifier is very low on the importance factor compared to everything else to be worried about on old rowhomes homes.

@Baahir Starkey the easy days of low rates allowing a beginning investor to pick a property on the MLS and have it cashflow are over for now.Now, investors have to do lot of research and pursue motivated sellers, willing to take less than their property is worth. 

Not too low either, you don't want to go with someone who is just focused on price as this is a quality of a not-so-great accountant.

Prices soften a little....but no where close enough to offset increased borrowing costs.There are basically two logical flaws that lead people to the conclusion that rising rates equates to equally low prices.1) They assume that other investors have the same borrowing costs that they do.

That allows me to generate a high and low estimates for each aspect of my overall rehab plan.

I use a cheap pair of $20 bluetooth earbuds, and listen at low volume, so I can hear if someone starts talking to me, but turning up the volume may even be enough for you. 

Houses are still affordable (new construction especially), taxes are low, but I'm concerned if people really rent there (86% owner occupied). 

Any advice is extremely helpful!

@Jaron Walling Hi, i have been working at my families local restaurant since i was a kid. it pretty much doesnt operate smoothly without us being there but it is getting tiring and my parents who have been working these hours much longer than i (they are immigrants from albania hence why i also bust my ***) dont want to continue doing this forever. i also do some FB market flips and have an online store. i just hustle to do whats needed. i have low expenses so this has allowed me to save alot for investments. 

While an FHA loan with its low down payment might seem attractive, it's not the best fit for a rental property in Jacksonville.
