Our biggest fear was the bill being so high that we struggle to keep tenants.

@Jared Chenel Dont revamp those goals, stick with your first plan I too love your goals...How much money do you need to pay your bills, living expenses, everything.

If $30k properties work for you, more power to you. 

You get to keep all the money and potentially roll it into the next property and after you rinse and repeat this process for a few properties you will have enough cashflow to buy units with just that income and almost no risk.Con- you will not be using the most powerful real estate asset which is leverage.

I'm able to purchase the property and believe the house itself will pay the bills and also have a couple hundred in cash flow.It comes with a hand built cabin.

As the days get shorter and the weather gets steadily colder, homeowners across the country will see their power bills increase dramatically.
