New York: $9,500 Down Could Produce $8,600 a Year

New York investors are accustomed to sky-high purchase prices, but affordable Cleveland real estate can produce an entirely different level of cash flow. During the 2,943rd episode of The MLS Search & Analysis Show, James Wise analyzes a cheap single-family rental with a tenant currently paying only $750 per month—even though comparable Section 8 rent could potentially reach approximately $1,200. Rather than immediately removing the tenant and paying for an unnecessary turnover, James explains how gradually increasing the rent could improve revenue while preserving occupancy. If the property can be negotiated down to approximately $38,000, an investor financing the purchase may only need around $9,500 down while potentially generating an estimated 71% cash-on-cash return.
