3 bed / 2 baths are ideal but I'll look at almost anything that's in decent shape.

My parents had one property over there right by camiel's beer distributors. 2 bed one bath bought for 105K in 2008 or 9. about a 35k-40k full gut rehab.

Over 2100 sq ft 4 bed room 2 bath including a 2 car garage that was converted into living space with permits.

Now three weeks later, she texted me regarding her squeaky fan above her bed.  

And just as many that specialize in turn key sales .I would not get to focused on one area until you have explored much of the US markets first.things to consider when owning rentals of course is the city health and demographics and long term projections.. and the other big issue especially with older rental stock is long term Capital expenditures to keep said homes in decent shape.. there is a sweet spot for rentals IE sq ft of homes and bed baths..

Here's my situation:135,000 property - 3 bed 2 bath15% (20,250) down that will be borrowed from investor at 10% over 10 years.  

At this point in my life I want to be crazy successful and go to bed knowing I am doing what I absolutely love.  

Update: Talked to the realtor, each unit has a kitchen, bed and bath ;  Triplex indeed!  

First I set base criteria (residential detached, # of bed/bath, city, county)Then in a field called "Special Circumstances" that has some recurring keywords listed as options, I select the keywords that suggest a distressed property. 

On a majority of the leases the actual lease amount is $855 but the landlord pays a cap of $150 on electric.Insurance is $900 per building per year.Taxes are $670 per building per year.Property management is probably going to be around 10%They have a maintenance guy that lives in the one 1 bed 1 bath and from what I understand he takes care of the maintenance issues for the 20 duplexes and he has no plans to leave.Something very interesting about these duplexes is they are basically across the street from a very large Army base.
