I attended Highschool at Franklin High School.  

My wife is narrowly focused on Issaquah area, for school district, convenience, and easy access.

It's not a distressed property, excellent location and 8+ school rating, owner doesn't want to rent after current family members move out.

Doesn't matter how neglected the property is, doesn't matter that the tenants are rent controlled and 30% below market rents, all that matters is the magic words "2-4 unit" and "on the MLS."

I went to Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh for school - my undergrad education is in Architecture so I have all the tools at my disposal to design value-add spaces and as a bonus I'm pretty good at coloring in between the lines.

It's like looking for a magical unicorn.

At that point the possibilities are endless, we have visions of flipping and wholesaling during the school season and enjoying our family during the summer season. 

It's in a decent neighborhood, but the schools aren't great.

So for OK City, the magic number is about 3 times that of Denver (go figure... that math stuff is pretty consistent :) )Tulsa comes out as:2974 / 400000 = .0075So this means Tulsa should have even more homes available per capita and maybe an easier market still.Of course, you have to pick large enough markets to be worth your while, so I don't know that this would work for Blythe, CA (174/19000 = .0092) even though the number is awesome!

It was a bit of a hike for an evening during the week after school and work for me, but it was good.
