Anyway, I wanted to reach the correct target market ($3200-3800) and would appreciate the guidance.

If the numbers are right, and you've enough resources to buy it, then just rent it out to your friend as a tenant (though I would not rent to family or friends)

I am eager to learn from anyone willing to teach  & share whatever knowledge and resources I have.

My time is very limited with my full-time job, and feel it might be best if I have all the information in one place and a resource along the way. 

The most valuable takeaway for others though are probably the data sources that I found while putting this together :American Fact Finder - This was a great resource, you mix & match different demographic, economic and geographic data tablesCity Data - Pretty well known, contains a variety of information on different cities, used for crime statisticsHUD Fair Market RentsUnemployment StatisticsCensus Bureau Quick FactsAdditional Census Bureau ResourcesIt took me a while to figure out where I could find good, reliable data, so hopefully this list helps someone else who's unsure of where to look. 

My current brokerage focuses on this niche and has the right resources to fill this niche.

I've also read and learned a lot on this site and its great resource for information.

The knowledge and resources are here.
