You can find duplexes under $180K in C-class neighborhoods, in decent condition, that meet or exceed the 1% rule

Your job is to keep tightening it up (geographically and based on asset type) and meeting investors until you have a buy box that makes sense for you.There is also no point to running deals through a calculator if you are seeing them.

Unless the medical condition meets the state criteria for early termination and that the medical notice does not appear to suggest that, you cannot terminate the lease outright/immediately but that you will begin to market the property for rental and upon securing an acceptable tenant, the lease can be terminated pending a satisfactory property walkthrough indicating no damages. 

It is maybe a couple hundred dollars to join and you can attend numerous classes and meetings.

So any contacts, known meet ups, or especially advice for an initial purchase is greatly appreciated! 

Hi all, and nice to meet everyone.

I ended up having to pay for their tax preparer’s time to (finally) meet with me and make corrections.

When they tried to meet with OP, they were told to leave.

I would probably take the risk at $500, but $1k feels more of a ripoff like most guru programs. don't waste your time if they don't meet your criteria there is ZERO chance they will meet this guys.. remember they make their money with you folks dreaming of making money and paying for the dream.. 

I'd like to meet the property management company and the business people(cleaning and handyman related) so I could paint a better picutre.Thank you for the info.
