Sounds like I should stick to my numbers and keep searching through the different sources.

@Joshua Ketter good job - it sounds like you nailed your purchase price to allow plenty of cushion. 

There has been a situation in which the seller said " hey what if you fix my house and we split the profit" sounded great to me.

Sounds like the best person to ask is the lender you’d want to work with on one or more of the deals.

@Jerome Reidman it sounds like you will have some good leads already but keep in mind that Bigger Pockets does have state specific forums here. 

heynot sure if this is the correct sub-forum but i'l give it a go. planning on buying a property, long term rental, all cash. now, say i have around 500$ coming in to my account every month (this is in theory, after all expenses are paid and taking into account vacancy, small repairs, capex etc'). current plan is buy a property every once a while (at least every 2 years, could be less once mortgages will be an option for me, non us citizen starting to invest here. talking about properties in the range of 60-80k). letting the money sit in the account until i buy my next property does not seem optimal to me, but on the other hand investing it in the stock market or something like that does not sound good either because i will need that money in a short period. perhaps i'm overthinking it but i'm trying to see i'm leaving any money on the floor so to speak :)what do people around here do? 

Is it too early in the development stages to invest?

I would like to be as sound as possible and grow quickly.

Sounds like some of the buildings I have in Lewiston and Auburn lol.I usually replace all the electrical when I do a remodel on an apartment.
