I keep wondering about insurance, vacancy rates, if tenant selection is a bigger/ different factor, terms of the tenancy and differences in opex and capex?

Do school ratings matter for SFH?

But what if you have limited funds, even after budgeting, saving, etc, and will continue to have limited funds for the foreseeable future? 

It can be challenging for 1-4 units depending on the property characteristics, your loss history/other rating factors, and location.

Many homeowners locked in mortgage rates at historically low levels, between 2.5% and 3%, providing a golden opportunity for those refinancing or purchasing homes at that time.

Hey Anne, I'd suggest you do some research on the MTR rental rates and vacancy rates in your target area and understand the costs involved in renovations, financing and property management.

In some markets you won’t get the higher booking rates and occupancy numbers without a pool (Florida and Arizona come to mind). 

I’ve contacted banks in regards to Ioans and as you know rates are a bit higher than in US and you have to go through much more hoops to get one.

Financially speaking, I'm still saving, but the goal is 50k saved up (all costs: closing, fees, down payment, portion of rehabbing costs) by this summer with my fathers help on the cash all while I continuously save 50-80% of my work checks to fund for rehabbing this property and I work off my second job and "survive off of that."

Hey Mitchell, Doing a fix and flip in today's market with high-interest rates can be challenging, but it isn't necessarily a bad idea.
