It's a 3 unit 129k with a new roof, new windows, new flooring, My mortgage will be roughly 1200/month, if I can rent the other two units for 1200/month, then I live for free and have an extra +/-$1200/month to put away every month as well as the income from my full time job, even at 100% vacancy, my mortgage is lower than buying a single family home and also lower than renting. 

I think that with that higher demand the value may appreciate as well which could create a higher entry point for anyone wanting to get in afterwards. 

@Jaron Smith  What you're describing is not an entry-level deal. $80k is a super sexy pricepoint, but coming up with the money on this deal is the only really "easy" part that I can see.  

I follow the logic - larger units, families with kids, lower crime rates.

Again, other investors may set different goals... for instance, someone who has been in the game a while and gotten really good at finding amazing deals and managing their portfolio super efficiently might not accept lower than a 15 to 20% CoC Return.When it comes to some of the "rules of thumb" like the 1% rule and the 50% expense rule, these are really more quick analysis tricks to help you understand whether a property is worth looking into further... not final criteria for whether or not you should buy.

Less liens won, dollar amounts down and number of investors who won was also lower.

Sure many will join and quit, likely a higher number than with a traditional brokerage due to the ease of 'entry and exit' without personal accountability. 

He has great content that would get you started and mobile homes in parks have a low cost of entry.

So lower taxes, no tenants to manage and he avoids capital gains- right?

I can probably make it such that W2 is slightly lower income.Or is it based on time spent?
