@Neri Bermas regardless of what market you choose, with $50,000 capital to invest, I strongly recommend financing a better class of property than paying cash for a low end asset.

. $200 is a bit low in my opinion and leaves very little room for profit if you run into any unexpected vacancy's, evictions, or capital expenditures.  

@Nadine Delille So here are the options for low cash investors (just a few)Wholesaling off the MLS: need to double close more than likelyWholesaling: find your own deals via marketingBird dogging:  Might get money for any lead you find with your own marketing and turning it over to someone thats more experienced.Lease Options (alot of stuff here but lets simplify it:  you become a middle men for hooking up a landlord and tenant)Flipping houses: if you have PML and HML who are willing to pay for everything but for a newbie will be extremely expensive on your end profit (plus if you need to pay points for the loan)yeah many agents are investor friendly meaning that they will go with you and see houses write up offers etc but when it comes to wholesaling off the MLS what you need to do is the double close.

You can buy great looking laminate at $1-2sqft at Lowes, plus underlayment (definitely install underlayment/vapor barrier, it helps with the water problem and also helps the floor absorb minor leveling imperfections).   

Current rent is $685 for two bed, which is low and going to 3 bed would put the rent around $900 or higher. 

(rent too high/low, not enough capex set a side, ROI doesn't make sense, the whole deal doesn't make sense, taxes, insurance, interest rates incorrect, etc....)Thanks in advance!

Some of the basic benefits are transaction speed and the ability for low cost, cross-border payments. 

In house hacking, I believe the idea is to buy a property (single family or up to 4 units) using a conventional fixed rate loan with a low down payment and then to live in it for the required time and move on to buy another property the using the same method.

I paid rent late pretty often too in my 10 years of renting before home ownership and now investor isn low income sfhs.

I don’t think out of towers take in to account how new and low maintenance our housing stock is. 20 years is an old house.
