My properties and employment can and will cover paying for the whole downpayment over that short span of time.

Little Rock is very economically segregated city between well off and poor with not much between (few non-government, corporate employers and about 20% below poverty line).

And, any absolute numbers for "cash flow" or equity are sorta useless without knowing the size of the deal.And, of course it's highly dependent on location, neighborhood characteristics, and the investor's preference for product type.

The RICH club puts on an event on the first Saturday of every month and thats a decent sized event.

IE number of bedrooms, bathrooms, lot size etc.You never know who's looking to buy.

I would try to minimize the size of the common areas as much as possible (within reason).

This amount of money will vary based on the size of the transaction ... but you can assume it will cost $2k-$3k at a minimum.

That win win thing is very beautiful.When growing up the adults around me advised us kids to get a good education and secure employment.

You will need to have a look at the sewer sizing standards of the city to determine the size of the pipe at the tap, and then check the size of the lateral line(s) in place for your septic systems. 

Hi Rob,I'm interested in Troy and similar sized properties yo mentioned for buy and hold purposes.
