I currently have a small portfolio but they are single family homes.

Hi everyone - I currently have an investment property with a 150K+ mortgage of 7% interest.

In my market currently the list price is pretty close to what they’re going to sell for.

Realize that would be based on your efforts, versus the current sellers, but you would be willing to pay above market if you plan to make a lot more by doing the value add.I prefer to pay below market, but if the zoning is hard to find, if the potential value add is great, or the finance deal is wonderful, then I would pay above market. 

So, if one aims to replace current income of $90k-$120K/year one may start with $2200-$2500/mo marketing campaign.

The home appraised last year for 2.1m, currently on the market for 1.98.

I am a first time investor, about to rent out my current home (3BR/2bath) as I move into a new one (so a tad nervous!).
