It doesn’t have to be in your backyard.

The sibling tells me again its drywall, that they can replace and repaint it.The backyard side of home needs to be repainted.I'm looking at average rents in the area and its about 1.8-2.2k, but this home I think I can get between 1.8-2.0k (I think 2k is reasonable). 

I almost exhausted in Atlanta my backyard market in finding decent single family home around 100k-200k that meet 1% rule of rent making 1000-2000$.

The best flippers I know do it in their backyard.

Let me save you months of analysis.We just stress-tested and closed on 3 single-family homes last month in your backyard — SeaTac, Olympia, and Port Orchard — and spent less than $50K total to lock them up.

Then hit laundry, any extra rooms, and garage (not here obviously), and finish with the back yard. 

I hear ya but with the senior units those are patio homes with 2 car garages nice back yard and covered space its just common wall  they are built in duplex triplex config.tiny homes like you see trailer manufactorers build pretty tough for full time living..

Learn your local market extremely wellStarting in your own backyard is actually a great idea.

If you can't invest in your backyard, consider investing passively in a syndication or debt fund, or if you want more control, consider buying a NNN lease building like a Walgreens.
