We really need additional consistent members to take it to the next level. 

recently got a lead, the guy who has the property is a flipper and says that he does a couple a flips a year, the house is a 4bd 2ba garage and 2 levels, in a very decent neighborhood.

Figuring the numbers out is the toughest part other than figuring out the FMV and where I should be offering...Once I get these models and pricing points down, I have just taken the next level and can start making offers, etc...Thanks everyone,Johnny

So a limited building permits and houses that are focused on owner occupants (read as higher priced) are creating a higher demand for affordably priced, lower end SFR that (ultimately) looks to put the 'entry level' rental housing product into a position to experience appreciation over the next decade.

I've been doing some smaller level real estate investing but my big obstacle has been how to get timely financing.
