How exactly do I find a home before it hits MLS? I do have a reserve, however it never crossed my mind that a portion could be used as a CAPEX hedge. Thank you for your feedback!

I’m currently in Okinawa, Japan. I don’t have a background in real estate, aside from reading books, listening to podcasts and watching YouTube videos. I am working with a real estate agent and do plan to visit San Antonio when restricts allow. Thank you for the feedback!

Hello everyone. I’ve been using the rental property calculator on BP and searching for properties on Zillow, Redfin, Realtor, etc. for 10 months now. I am currently looking for SFHs and SMFHs in the San Antonio area and plan to rent to military families that work at Lackland AFB. I’ve looked in the city as well as the outskirts and every time I run the number on a property, the cash flow always comes out negative. How do you know when it’s time to look for properties in a new location/market?

(Currently long distance investing, will be using a VA loan the numbers I typically used are as followed:

Interest Rate: 4%

Repairs: 5%

Vacancy: 5%

CapEx: 10%

Property Management: 10%

Mortgage: 30 Year

Thank you in advance!
