Although, I would imagine there could be some similarity between states.

Unless there is something going on at the property, I can't imagine what you would talk about.

If someone worked there, i imagine they would be looking for areas nearby.

ranch, 1050 sq. ft, basement (poured walls), 3 beds, 10x10 kitchen, detached garage

I imagined this was somewhere along the lines of 5% of the purchase price, basically the tenant buyers down payment for the house. 

I am not looking at real estate to be a get rich quick scheme, but rather something I can pour my extra time into while I am young and be able to have a strong financial position on which to build a company.

But if I use my psychic abilities, I would imagine you have taken some time to research each property and have calculated your numbers (ARV, holding costs, repairs costs, MAO). 

<==I don't think we're supposed to post URLs, but you can use your imagination on this one.  

Your imagination is the only restriction.

I imagine that owning a bit of RE there has not been too, too hard on you....It sounds like you're well aware of the advantages of frugal living.
