Desirable houses that I have seen are starting at 650k, but I was wondering if there are other sources to look instead of online postings. 

., (I don't know the philidelphia sub market, this might not be a deal) $125,000 Purchase, $75,000 rehab, if you can get an appraisal for $300,000, you can get all your money out, and probably cash flow $500+ per month.If I started investing again, I would have started with getting my real estate license.Happy Hunting!

Hi James, not sure what markets you are interested in, but if you are interested in Memphis or Detroit (where I have 9 doors), I would be happy to connect and knowledge share.

May be able to get you a decent chunk of money and market it to my network of investors who would absolutely love that interest rate. 

Location: Central CaliforniaI also have an online store that brings in 150-200k NET per year and that’s what we live on and use to build a savings.

I am thinking if there is any online property management that does showings and responds to any maintainence requests?

Hey @Erin Babnik, I agree with the Excel recommendation.I love to suggest QuickBooks Online for bookkeeping for REIs (that's what all of our Clients are on) but if you only have 1 property and are looking to keep this as simple as possible the clear winner is Excel.Best of luck!

I currently live in San Diego, so I am interested in my local market also, but I am newer here, so I'm still learning the market. 

In terms of the lady spending all her time reporting violations... yikes.There are a few maps online that show the unincorporated areas of pinellas county down to the street, and then you can cross reference the county zoning website.

It's one of the harder markets to find cash flow in, on average, in the US right now, but not the worst.
