Looks about right - here's also a list of the top cash-flowing cities if you're interested in major metros

Would something like this work?

Joe Hammel (FIRE Realty) is a great investor friendly realtor in the area

Detroit and Cleveland have the best cash-flow in the country at the moment...lots of properties under $250k there

Hi Jay, here's a heatmap for Seattle that looks at every neighborhood and ranks it from A to D using around 30 data points, like Median income, population growth, employment stats, appreciation etc.

Hi Jon, looks like the area is pretty solid, somewhere between A-B grade! Around $87k median income and high employment rates. Also there are recent new builds in the area it seems

Hi Isaiah, here's a list of landlord friendly states

Hi Zane, Texas is ok for cash-flow but nothing special. Here's a list of the best major cities for cash-flow...mostly it's the midwest and also upstate NY

I was running some numbers and it seems to me that when you're doing a BRRRR you have two choices: you can either pull a lot of money out in the refinance, which then helps you scale up quickly, but then you leave yourself with a high mortgage payment, and little to no cash flow. OR you can take a smaller loan and leave more money in the deal to increase your cash flow due to the lower mortgage payment.

How do you guys navigate this? Would you rather have higher cash flow with more money in the deal, or less cash flow with less money in the deal? Is there a right answer?

Here's a neighborhood grade heatmap for Columbus with each neighborhood ranked from A to D.

Some of the data used:

1. Census data - median household income, employment stats, bachelors degree percentages, crime, vacancy rates, appreciation

2. MLS data - average days on market, median cash flow, median rent, median price per sq. foot
