Luckily, I work at night to make cash tips as a server, so I can afford most of my monthly bills within one week of work.  

The only feasible way of structuring this transaction is to ask the seller to carry 25% of the purchase price minus 3k or however much you can afford to put down at 10% interest 3 year term.  

They say the process might take 60 days.I can’t afford the 1500-3k that some attorneys want. 

But then I thought since they are so low priced I might actually be able to afford flipping one or buying and renting.

I don't want to tell myself I can't afford it, I want to find a way to make this happen in a year.

Except that I need the money to hire one, which I won't have until I start making enough in real estate to afford it, so I need to figure out how to make this work with a baby first.  

If so I wouldn't focus too much on the appreciation growth, but 3% rent increase is a pretty good assumption (many salaries increase 3% each year so people can afford that increase).Lastly if the numbers don't work don't rely on increases to cash flow.

Also, is it a concern the amount of younger people moving to the area that may not be able to afford the increasing prices and eventually start moving away?  

If you don;t hear back in 24 h, you assume they are not longer interested in renting your condo.
