Not familiar with whirlpools but it seems to me that they can potentially leak from more places and the entry height is about double that of a typical tub measuring 24". 

Why not aim for accumulating more units with each transaction and perhaps utilize the stacking strategy.

We're aiming for either South Coast MA, or the East Providence, RI area.

I say unofficial as its likely aimed at people downsizing (hence just 2 bed/2 ba and landscaping included) but no official designation or requirements. stable area, near University. regular/larger home values easily go $350k+ starting out. being just outside Atlanta, near all normal needs (hospitals, stores, restaurants, etc). honestly, rents could easily go near $2k. talking with agent, estimating rent probably a little lower, but better to be pessimistic and get more than optimistic and take losses in my opinion. as for value add, some other 2/2 houses in area Zillow estimate $260 right now, and they dont have that loft.

Smart niche you are aiming for as well.

Measure.5.

I would aim for higher rent for a greater return.

I doubt they did that.And while I may find it plausible that it has Baltimore at a rate of 35% of all tenants being evicted.....I highly doubt that Montgomery County, one of the 15 richest counties in America has the same rate as Baltimore...while it measured the next county over, Loudon County Virginia at 0.6%.

My goal is to own 1000 multifamily units by age 30, this way you have an end point and measurable goalKeep it up and don't give up!
