With your experience, you may find yourself managing projects for a house flipper looking to scale his/her business...or any number of opportunities...Lastly, I have to say house-hacking is an excellent way to get started!

I eventually started doing excel sheets, but reading what you said its true!

I've heard of investors using Excel with 100 properties!

Here are the pros/cons as I see it:Frayser Pros:  Excellent cash flow (when rented to a good tenant), cheap homes (roughly $40k or less), rougher area.. but not so dangerous that I won't go to the house to do work (during the day of course).Frayser Cons:  Home values will probably never appreciate much, dealing with low-income tenants who often only make partial payments (always seems like I'm chasing them down), risk of break-ins when vacant, I've NEVER had a tenant give notice to leave.. they've always been evicted due to lack of payment, flaky handymen/repair people (maybe this is common everywhere).So is it smart to be investing this way.. chasing the cash flow? 

Granted I'm still looking to close on my first deal following the course and get out of that 9-5 job...Excellent advice - stick to the numbers, be conservative, don't get sucked into bidding wars (especially those who are in markets where MLS has dried up again), have a system, and just let the numbers talk to you.
