Selling low and buying high never works, same goes with real estate.

but with minimum wages increasing and cost of production increasing, there will be a point where machines will cost less than human, and when that point hits... then yeah all the low income class jobs are going to get replaced by machines. 

I am looking at a property (triplex) in a B- neighborhood with very good schools around and very low crime. 

@David Harley I agree with Heath you are low on your expenses. $812/month for rent in that area also seems a tad bit steep, unless they are extremely nice units.

I also recommend reading Brandon Turner's book (buying rental properties with no and low money down), and just continue to save as much as possible. 

Appraisal comes in low?

So far the experience level of the people I have met there has been pretty low which I understand that they are there to make contacts and learn (everyone needs to start). 

Also Condos Tend to be the last to rise and first to fall when markets change, FL is highly volatile, especially condos, so unless you buy WAY under market, your risk is pretty high especially if you want to get out at a low point in the market.   

The challenge is this would be my first home I would ever have put an offer on and there is a lot of interest in the house already since it is such a low price for the area.
