The target profit was $30k making my max purchase price $99,620 (with the additional costs I included - staging costs @ $3k and hard money financing cost @ $11k). 

Depending on target market, we've found the "crappier" bandit signs work better.

If so then the first thing you should do is determine your target markets as to where you'd like to be buying properties. 

Your target audience will be somewhat smaller (some people will have health concerns just like a portion of the population is still scared of microwave ovens), but as @Scott W.  

My target renters at that time were college students. 

Those are my target, because if your willing to be flexible you can get amazon people!.
