A personal home is a life style decision not a investment.

Now that I knew my style of investing, it was up to location.

Still, seller financing is usually faster and easier to get than a government-backed mortgage—if the seller is willing and able to provide it.And, while most owner financing requires some form of background or credit check, it can help otherwise unqualified borrowers achieve homeownership.

Cabinets, a classic style-shaker with simple pulls/handles (the more detail, the more dirt builds up and is hard to clean). 

Standardize as quickly as possible with style of property and finishes and it will become easier. 

We've seen 10% appreciation in OKC the last 6 months - like most of the country - but this is still a market, like many others in the Midwest, where you can still achieve the 1% rule.

I now know I am selling for severely under market value as even though the other home has more upgrades, mine is much larger, same style and completely updated. 

For all I know, it makes sense for them to sell them back to people who need them for rehab.)An increase in marginal yield corresponds to an increase in marginal risk, but that risk is not born evenly by investors: the ones with bad setup end up with a vacant property, while the ones with good setup can access that higher nominal yield.To support that "city xxx" is good for investment, one would need to know what gross yield, vacancy rate/average tenancy duration (there is a cost to switching tenant) and net yield people achieve there. 

Basically the existing rent on the 2 tenant-occupied properties covers the debt service for all 3, giving me a chance to do any work on the 3rd property needed to achieve maximum rent with an annual lease.

You have provided us your numbers but not the thought process on how you got there, so it is hard to provide any input.For example, how do you determine that this property can achieve $2K per month in rent?
