Canton is a very odd market with very cheap taxes (under 1200/yr) but with some areas with higher rents than expected (ours is pulling 600/unit for rent). 

I think SF in houston is a safER bet right now for a long term hold then MF right now.

Hi Latara, I believe your best bet would be to go to local REIA's and network a bit.  

However, once you get between six and 12 touch's per prospect, your odds of converting nearly quadruple.

It's my bet that the neighborhood I carefully selected will appreciate a little faster than that.  

I would not bet on appreciation, especially if it is in a rougher area.

I'll bet money on there being heirs that can't/won't be dealt with.

If you properly figure out cap ex, as in his simple demonstration (which im betting most of us havent done), even if you lower it down, cap ex is still $150/month on top of everything else on an SFR.

To me it's clear as day that the market is speaking and 14 is not enough, if they paid these people 4 bucks more an hour, there would probably be no turnover.I'll ask the waitresses and my co workers "don't you guys find it odd that we are paid so much compared to the other employees? 

You bet.
