My hopes for the future are aimed at gaining the right tools/knowledge to pursue my dream and forming a network which will help to excel to build a legacy for my family once i have deceased, after all everyone dreams of providing a stable future for their children.

We know from the start not to bank on appreciation and we address safety issues, roofs, and exterior problems immediately.Once those issues are stable we only do what is needed to make the unit rentable in its market.

Job market - Historically, rental market in general has been tied to the job market; US job market is stable and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future.

This is very much a possibility due to my wife who not only can provide benefits but a stable paycheck as we transition to a single income family.  

Purchasers: lock in low rates, perceived stable income and returns.

Most of the time Turnkey inventory is pretty stable.

A fairly stable area, and it looks like there are quite a few investors who have purchased, rehabbed, and listed properties for rent in the last 5 years or so. 

This is also a strategy thing, though - how much value is being added and how long is that taking.In case you're curious where I landed for the rental portfolio, I ended up with an LLC, but mostly titling the properties, once stable, personally.  

Question: I am quite interested in a property that I have found for $175k that has 7 units and generates approx 3200 / month in stable rents.

Very strong and stable rental market.
