It's going to look incredibly odd- This is why I was saying check with a lender.

This is incredibly expensive and time consuming in California, for example.

I also am hearing about many people getting burned from being overextended due to Covid and are now in hot water. 

I would recommend looking at various wholesalers in the area, many have incredible deals and very tight ties to the local market. 

We've got a lot of incredible resources specific to our GTA market...I recommend the podcasts "The Truth about Real Estate Investing", "Breakthrough Real Estate Investing" and "Where Should I Invest?". 

The North Carolina real estate market is hot right now even amidst the covid pandemic.

And the market for multis in some areas of Rochester is hot - super hot.  

It's gonna be a hot week, especially for someone from CA, but I'm sure you'll have a great time.

This is one of those questions that only you can answer.From strictly a rental property analysis standpoint, $2600/mi in potential gross income for $375k is roughly a 4% cap rate - That's not incredibly exciting, but also not terrible (it's also very market-specific...it would be great in some areas, terrible in others, and I know nothing about the Metairie LA market). 

Still have to budget for roof, appliances, hot water heater, hvac, bath and kitchen remodel,etc.
