Also I don't think I would qualify for a loan that high and even if I did I would be burdened with crazy high monthly mortgage payment even with a tenant paying rent.

Price too high, location...?

I am a 27 year old, born and raised in the metro Detroit area of Michigan, a former collegiate gymnast at EMU and Pitt, a current Manager of a CS team at a highly functional Sports Tech company, AND (most importantly) I am officially a new homeowner as of today!

I suppose you might have a better chance in picking areas of a state with high winds. 

Hi Daniel,Flipping in rural environments with limited comps is a risky move, so personally I wouldn't do it as the risk is too high.

If you can handle a high-intensity environment (many times without adequate staffing) like an ICU, you can handle RE investing.

I too echo the sentiment about the high turnover rate.

I highly stress education. 

If you do not show income, or have a high amount of debt, you may need to consider DSCR financing. 

If you do add pets to the lease, I HIGHLY recommend a non refundable pet deposit.
