Or if a slightly lower bracket the higher end GE/KitchenAid package. 

If you get lower, good for you, if not, at least you already accounted for it..

1615 Nelson is actually priced about $10k lower than what comps are selling for in that area of the Dayton market.

So we negotiated an even lower purchase price.

I'm interested in turnkey properties in the future as well to build my portfolio as the cost of some of those cities you mention is significantly lower than our coastal areas.To get to your point it sounds like you need to decide how involved you want to be. 

Im looking to tap into equity to start flipping houses and eventually get more rental properties after I pay off my credit card debt to lower my debt to income ratio, any advice would be appreciated!

Some do but they typically offer lower LTV's when compared with HELOC's on primary residences. 

Smaller bedrooms and kitchen, bathrooms need to be remodeled.Long and the short of it, 1 is in better condition but not as nice of a street and 2 is outdated and needs to be remodeled and we feel like we could get in at lower price given comps and time on the market Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

HELP: not sure if it’s a waste of time, or should I focus on condos, what other numbers should I consider when looking at potential deals (I check PITI to be lower or equal the rent), what I need to know about the market I’m in?

I was under the impression that rates were around 5% (or lower) for 80% LTV loans, however im getting quotes for as high 5.75%, and some big bank lenders aren't even doing 75% LTV loans.
