I always figured it was out of my price range...will be checking it out for sure now though.  

Respectable numbers by any measurement.

You probably have lots of competition at that range. 

Based on your location in your profile, ANYTHING in the bed/bath range that you provided is a steal at 177k (from what I understand of the markets up there, that is).

I'm looking at buying a set of 3-5 du/tri/quad-plexes over the next 5-8 years, then transitioning them into a 10-20 unit apartment building.End game is somewhere in the range of 50-100 doors spread out over 2-5 high-quality properties.

Est range in value for this area is $136k-$152k.

I am looking around 200k range to try and get a better tenant.

Since my city is so large, the price range of homes is quite broad.

This way you are not bleeding the lot rent monthly in addition to making repairs and marketing.Everyone here respects your ambition and determination to move forward in this niche rain or shine.
