And the knobs looked like they'd been switched around and were mix/match.

When I say analyze I mean focusing in on the properties that seem to match my criteria.

@Kyara SchroederMake sure to contact the agent or owner and ask what rents are right now, look on rentometer AND SEE IF RENTS MATCH WITH WHAT THEY ANSWER.

The P&I in that don't match the P&I you stated in your post?

-As a broad stroke i didnt see that a 2br/1ba Condo was any Simpler on the math side, it wasnt some massive cash cow no one was catching, when you take rent and HOA fees Its basically like buying a home that's valued at $185-210k, its just that often times you can charge rents that line up with the 1% rule because a condo is often times in a more urban setting and as a generalization they match up. 

I was able to get a couple sales and match my income from my previous W2 job.

Better yet, think about creating a separate LLC for each flip (but again, IANAL, so check with one before going too much further)Third, consider that you may want an S-Corp for your flipping since that is Ordinary Income (NOT CAPITAL GAINS) and you'll owe not just ordinary income tax on that, but also possibly/probably self employment taxFourth, keep tracking each property's expenditures and matching it against its income when you sell it. 

This situation is one of the down sides of adjusting rent due date to match pay checks.

@Kamenin Earl Banks if you are getting a 401k match from your employer, I‘d want you to grab that free money first.

I actually heard about Exist Reality and there meet ups didn't match with my work schedule.
