Biggest mistake I made initially was buying a home for 130k - it's a good home but there's only a small pool of tenants who can afford the rent I'm looking for.If you're thinking of buying a rental for cash flow purposes, please don't spend more than 80-90k on you first single family home - I promise you will cash flow much better and have a much larger group of (perfectly fine) tenants to choose from.I also don't recommend buying a home for less than 50-60k, as that will just cause too much tenant drama/repair headaches.
