This business is about being patient right?

If it were me I'd price it high then be very patient with tenants.. a house that nice is tough to find in the rental market and people like nurses and robotics techs will be after them.. 

Get a mentor, hire an agent who is really looking out for you and not just trying to close a sale, and be patient.

Be patient and spend a few hundred hours on self education.

In fact, if you don't mind putting in a bit of elbow grease or being patient and waiting for the right opportunity, you can even still find the occasional 3-bedroom house for under a half million.

Again, they key is being patient and putting good tenants in your units.

We learned to be a little more patient on acquiring anything that is presented to us.

As frustrating as it was, I kept patient with Holdfolio and eventually they were able to sell the property at a profit and pay all the cumulative preferred dividends that were missed. 

I am an emergency physician and know that I don't want to do shift work forever although I do enjoy patient care.

You can still find deals that make sense on the MLS though you will need to be patient (wait for the right opportunity)  but prepared (ready to submit a strong offer on a property that meets your criteria).
