I'd like to make an offer that i'm comfortable and don't want this to break my savings i've set aside for future property investments as well.

You can also run stats on how much inventory is out there by city and price point etcBest general advice... nothing new here, but what I've found to be most true:1) get extremely comfortable with working deal numbers so you can confidently take action when right one comes up.

Lots of options, you just have to dig to see what is available to you, and what level of risk you are comfortable with.

I just have to figure out what I’m comfortable with.

Besides the fact that I’m used to living alone & would actually prefer it, it’s comfortable living here.

I decided that my "standard" is much higher than that, and I decided I would not buy a property to rent unless I would be comfortable living there myself.I found a 3-bedroom, 2 bath single family residence that has been recently updated and is clean and fresh. 

(When you're good at something keep at it I guess)Sure I could buy in a $70 or $150k neighborhood but I'm very comfortable (and successful) at the $30-50k game.Agreed, I'd never invest without the team in place, knowing the market, and knowing the local regs and procedures. 

I never really felt comfortable because I’ve never succeeded or failed at real-estate.

They also provide you with peace of mind that your tenants will be comfortable and you are providing a quality rental unit.

@David A.You should do what you're most comfortable with at the end of the day.That said, one of your worries is that you'll pay a CPA "$100+/hour to get advice that I could theoretically learn myself".
