it is a fairly good start.  

I will start by fixing and flipping properties.

It's going to be tough to buy a property without steady W2 income.  8k is a good start, but you might need to keep saving.  

You begin depreciating $200k over 27.5 years, starting from 2023.You do a major $50k rehab in 2030.

Quote from @Delton Friedman: Hi Everyone, I have been looking at building a duplex to rent in the Houston area, but I am not sure how to start. 

Zoning- certain towns are starting to restrict Airbnb type rental units.  

These figures are updated every Federal fiscal year which starts October 1. 

I am just getting started out and have a rough idea of how to work through these numbers and so I wanted to throw this out there to see how far off I was.I haven't gotten any numbers on financing this so I assumed a lot.

Louisville is fantastic for cash flow and is a safe place to start since we don't typically get caught up in the roller coaster effect of steep appreciation followed by sudden pull backs when the market isn't red hot.
