Good deals don’t come up often in those areas as they are highly sought after but if you can find one it will pay well.

We pay down $262/month and make another $2-300/month in cash flow.

Think contractors, landlords, etc. possibly even finding some form of part time job with a contractor or property management company is also a good way to get hands on learning and property management can pay fairly well once you get systems down

Once you sign up and pay the fee you are a partner forever.

Depends what class of area its in. i wouldn't pay 65/door to be in the ghetto. 

But anything you do is going to take up time, might be a lot of aggravation, and has the risk that after all the work and financial investment, might not pay off to the extent you hope for.

I would love to just pay a service to create one for me!

@Paige SeeleyThe more you put down the less you will pay in interestQuestion we ask ourselves is what do you do with that money?

Avoid lipstick on the pig.Renovations like nice kitchens and bathrooms are great for rental properties, but it is not everything.A property that has been cosmetically renovated, but has no capital improvements is worse than one that has been very well-maintained, but might have older cosmetics.If I walk into a property and I see that the kitchens and bathrooms have been redone, but all the walls are plaster there's no grounding in the electrical and the plumbing has never been updated that I consider it a full gut.It's a shame to pay a premium because of a nice kitchen and bathroom only to find out that you have to rip it all apart.It is usually less expensive to do cosmetic rehab for rentals than capital improvements. 

We learned that persistence pays off, as navigating a short sale can be a lengthy process requiring strategic planning and continuous effort.
