More practically, I want to accumulate six months rent for each property and then the excess can go to something else.

- When keeping a property as a rental, what are the best practices to rehab a place?

But, after the first home, I've always won them over by doing good work and improving the neighborhood.

Have they changed this practice?

Thanks for your thoughts Bill Gulley... very practical thinking there.

However (unless i change tactics) ill only be buying properties every 2-3 years as thats how long it should take US (me and my tenants) to pay the latest purchase off.Im open to suggestion for improvement.

Marie Poe this is common practice in many cities that have low price housing.

If it goes well, stop practicing and do more REI but you have the MD to fall back on.If you ultimate goal is still medicine, it simply sounds like you want to get rich and then go do what you want in medicine.If it were only that easy...

You will find answers to practically anything you need on BP.

Specifically for the purpose of acquiring, improving, and renting out property in what we would consider Class C/D areas?
