I’m coming up with my list of states that I will target and I am stuck! 

Here's a short list of things to consider when looking at lower priced properties:What condition is it in?

Granted the tenants aren't the best quality, their list of complaints is every-ready and I have put them on notice to evict.

@Anthony Warlick at 1.25M at 8%, assuming 75% LTV your payment would be 6879 without taxes and insurance (since that wasn't listed here).

Low point of entry, easy repair list, and a quick sale How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Initial Discussion and Negotiation, Due Diligence and Documentation, Signing the Purchase Agreement, Escrow Closing Process, and Closing, Transfer of Ownership, and, Post-Closing Obligations. 

Happy to review your listing and give any pointers. 

We find resort town properties are generally over priced and the owners are very reluctant to back down from their list price.

Listed it for short term rentals was doing great - double the market - then one guest asked to buy it and I sold it for 200,000.

@Matthew DekkerIt's exciting to start investing in rental properties in the Philadelphia region, and even with a little initial investment, there are a number of tactics you may take into account.
