Why More Investors Are Prioritizing Cash Flow

[Frankie Vozzi]

Over the last few years, appreciation covered a lot of mistakes.

Now I’m seeing more investors shift back toward:

• Strong monthly cash flow
• Conservative underwriting
• Lower-risk rentals

Especially with rates still elevated, deals need to make sense on day one not just eventually, The investors still buying consistently seem to focus on:

• Rent-to-price ratio
• Liquidity after closing
• Flexible exit strategies

Are you buying more for appreciation or cash flow right now?
