@Jeremy A.Your question in Maine is like asking:How do I screen against Gay peopleHow do I screen against ChristiansHow do I screen against people born in Mexico How do I screen against African Americans if they apply online.If you feel it is the community that responded to you wrong, I suggest you look at what you asked.

There is a spreadsheet in the files section by @ sam tato that you plug in the costs associated with the property you are looking to buy and it will calculate the capex.

The key at the bottom left corner shows the colors and corresponding median home values The data is from the American Community Survey 

Data sources such as the American Community Survey, also known as the annual Census, provide a large number of these demographic and economic indicators.

Hi Sam,thank you for taking time to reply.myself and my young partner really lack the methods.

And what Sam said is true.  

Based your question it sounds like you lack cash to go on a 'traditional' investment path of 20% down for each property you buy.If you have no money then I would suggest a quick flip... make 20K (give 10K to Uncle Sam)... and flip something again.If you have a good day job that allows you to have extra income to invest then go with a BRRR strategy.

., being hit with taxes and penalties on premature distribution would not be wise, you will end up giving uncle Sam 40-50% of the distribution amount upfront.

Sam, did you ever find a solution? 

I took his class and thought it was great for average american who cant manage their money, hence the “baby” steps.
