Maybe I will share my progress here. 

Looking forward to seeing the progress.

County tax assessed at $38,000.

Most of the houses we purchased sight unseen ended with regret and a lot of work, but the one we didn't back out of is cash flowing, so just assess your situation, make the most of it, and move on.  

I’ll keep you posted on my progress.

I'm a Work In Progress!!!

So it possible its going to be long haul (depending on your definition of) but if I progress at the rate Im aiming for, the 2 should be better than the 1st, 3rd better than the 2nd.  

if the property is in an HOA be careful about past due HOA dues and assessments; e.g.

That spread was to single family dwellings.Other expenses and amounts to capitalize from improvements are anticipated as well to be assessed with respect to rental income and increased equity.Example and considerations:If I buy a house that has a 7 year roof,  in 8 years it has reached the end of it's economic and physical life, a repair may cost $7000.

Yes, they can be had cheap, but cash flowing them is the challenge:  HOA fees and special assessments are only a few of the costs…let alone the PITI, repairs, vacancies, and less than predictable appreciation.
