My wife and I just purchased our first property in Houston TX  with our VA loan.We got very lucky and purchased a home for 50k in a neighborhood that goes from the low 90k-120klooking for some advice to what moves i can make with this current property to invest in other properties to hold and rent.

I know this because I happen to be born and raised in in some of the hottest areas in the city right now.Since I'm black and from these areas, I personally  have no problem renting to low income people,  or people of color.

One of the guests on a podcast said that his goal was to have $2MM in DEBT We are in such a low interest rate environment, where money is cheap.

Hey BP community, I'm researching Forsyth county for SFR homes to invest in for long term rentals, mainly in the 250K - low 300K range (new construction/newer homes) in good school districts (West/North Forsyth HS), would love it if anyone could recommend some good subdivisions to check out.

I did this primarily to keep any travel costs low and convenience for my lifestyle.I then selected the markets that had the highest available jobs to unemployment ratio.

They were a bit higher than Lowe’s but Wesley offered more in terms of flexibility and reliability.

You see the low starting price.  

Indianapolis is still a good cash flow market but inventory is very low.

In more astute owner/property manager interactions, the contractor will be TOLD to decrease their price ASAP or the contractor would be terminated for any future consideration.I would most definitely contact the contractor to get the low down as to why it is more, since the property manager won't do it.It sounds like since you are doing a la carte service as opposed to full service, you are getting some bad answers from the property manager. 

It's unlikely that you would be showing a loss on a 50-unit, unless it's in a high-demand/low-cap rate market, where you're really getting appreciation and not a lot of relative cashflow.That being said, you don't do get to "hold on to" your RE losses.
