I'm just trying to determine how much more is reasonable while maintaining the upside of the investment.Overall, I want my investments to cash flow but also have appreciation potential and appeal to future retail buyers.  

I have no employees to baby sit, no perishable inventory to move, no franchise fees to pay, and no store to maintain.

The place was nice and well maintained.  

The house needs some work even though it has been reasonably maintained.

I've been working with mostly investors since I've obtained my license which goes great with the fact that I am a property manager for a Property Management Company that helps over 150 property owners maintain their property, find tenants to move in, and make sure that they pay!

My previous experience is in landlording my previous home as well as managing and maintaining about 20 condo units for friends and family. 

Concrete condos have less to worry about because the Association takes car of the structure and everything in the walls everything in your unit is your responsibility to maintain.  

I have been happy there and the low cost of maintaining a license is very "investor friendly"!

I am a successful professional with my JOB and have done well investing in real estate in the past; but now would like to become a full time real estate investor.My goals are to build my business in phases; phase 1 will be maintaining my JOB while completing 2 Flips/year, adding capital, and also add one rental property every year or two years.

They're easy to set up and maintain and can help you establish your brand in the market.That said, I also agree with Ned though that you shouldn't wait until you have one to get started.
