I want to narrow down the search real soon to make my 2020 summer goal a reality!

Was this a company or a one man band?

You might have multiple options in New York and New Jersey so searching online can help you narrow down your focus. 

feel free to reach out when you have narrowed down a few properties.

from what i understand is these units are long and narrow the house being long and split down the center length wise. 

@Yaldho ManojJust to narrow this down, is Garland a good area for SFH rental properties?

You're still going to run into issues because, unless you have a Rentometer Pro account, it won't let you select the building "type" (which means it's not going to narrow it down by house, duplex, apt, etc). 

As the song says, "If you're going to play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band". 

Selling a note with UPB over $200K could really narrow down your audience though. 

It is also hard to say without knowing all the information.It also depends on the quality of the repairs you are making.Are you or your contractors doing band-aid repairs or fixing it to a point there it should last you 10-15 years before you have to factor it in.With that said, 1950's is a old home, but there are homes older than that make a great investment and homes newer than that, that can make a bad investment.Age of the house isin't everything.
