Ideally when they move out the property should need zero "repairs" and you refund their entire deposit.

My brother and I have went through some classes and seminars which unfortunately does not fit my learning style.

- If I am to finance a property, using the 60k as a down payment, what price range would be ideal ? 

Hi @James Evertson, yes @Kate Moreland was a great fit with my brokerage as she is a fellow investor and looking for a place that fits her goals as an agent at the moment (no desk fees, sales quotas, office time, etc).

I would say your better off at a small out fit rather than the big guys like CBRE.

Ok with properties this cheap paying almost any rent gets a large return, however in most places properties in this price range will either need repairs almost immediately or often be occupied by less than ideal tenants.

Local small bank that I deal with.

Hi Joshua -I deal a lot in short term rental vacation homes in the Disney World area and am familiar with Margaritaville. 

Ideally, I would like to buy a duplex or a SFH 3/2 20% down using a conventional loan.

Where does appreciation fit into your analysis of investment return?
