Hi folks - I am looking to make an investment in a long term buy to rent, looking at around the $200-250k purchase price mark , ideally a lower mtce townhouse, or condo, and looking for capital growth and solid returns with young professional tenants.

I also wanted a city with more than one draw, like a town that's got both a military base and a college or it's known for it's tech and is also the county seat or state capital. 

Hi Andrew, To start out with a commercial building you are most likely going to need a lot capital for down payment. 

Both condos will be cash.For the rental condo, I was thinking about 3 markets where the rents are not bad and there is room for capital appreciation.I have finalized my list to 3 places1.

Now I'm ready to take action and start looking for my first deal.I was fortunate and disciplined enough to build up some decent savings to have as working capital to get started.

The only question is how much time and capital will it take to make that situation a reality.

Usually the 2% deals I see come with substantial capital costs to prepare the property to market. 

I'm moving on to my second live-in-flip, and would like to minimize taxes and I need help navigating through capital gains/self employment tax laws.

Thanks @Tom S.This will not be a traditional mortgage, it is a business loan and due to the debt coverage ratio they are ok with a second mortgage as long as they remain in first position.I closed on 3 units with the same lender on the 1st of October this year with my own capital.
