Passive house building standards are aiming a low but not zero energy costs. 

I probably don't have the level of rehab/fix-up experience as you, but I've definitely dabbled.

You need to have your stuff together to take it to that level, for sure!

I agree that 8% is probably low in Houston, especially as we look to the next year.  

yr 2000 or newer, low rehab for $25k or less.  

The reason why I ask is with the current low interests you can find  10% cash on cash returns, but the purchase prices on the investment are at or approaching the previous bubble peak price. ( 2005-2008) Is this dangerous? 

You can use your seed money to get into rentals, then cash out while rates are really low (and you have a W2), do it again and again (the BRRRR). 

Georgia has some great low cost properties I've seen.

Perhaps some one equipped to evaluate the level of a slab foundation?

Home is located in Frederick County VA and having a hell of a time finding any regulations on rentals in this county and wanted to see if anyone here knows if there will be a problem renting home based on low ceiling height.
