I am a computer geek by training, but I am interested in generating passive income so that my family can have financial security and the opportunity to travel and have adventures (without the day job). 

With taxes of $2,200  each and HOA of  $239 per unit, it seems like a pretty good cash flow opportunity.

I've got some free time in the summers so that could probably work out, I'll be sure to look for that kind of opportunity.

The higher down along with your father's backing shows better collateral if you will.I think you'll find that the more you talk about your goal on this site and others in person that opportunities will present themselves.   

@Alshan San That's interesting about the more expensive houses, could be a good opportunity I might have to check it out after all!

Downtown is making a resurgence so if you are looking north of downtown there might be an opportunity there.

You have a higher chance of getting spammed with the "hottest real estate opportunities" both on BP and on your email. 

I have a couple of investors who only look for opportunities in this area because they have a contractor who owns property himself in this area.

There's tons of great learning opportunities on the YouTube channel and iTunes Podcasts that are really enlightening and entertaining. 

I’m wondering if I should sell the house while I have the opportunity to avoid capital gains.
