cheap properties attract OOS cash flow investors.

There's also some stuff going on to restore gordon park at the north of glenville.

 @Nathan Fisher but the price point I’m seeing properties selling at is much higher then more desirable areas. I’m an OOS investor as well so I’ve been following what’s been in the works in Cleveland but Glenville prices have shocked me given that area can be called a war zone.

Is anyone aware of anything in the works in the Glenville area, especially along 105th between St Clair and Superior? The recent sales activity is very high in price but the area if graded is D class if not lower.

Don't skimp otherwise you'll be paying much more later.

Quote from @Marcel Bracamontes:

First post here and Im just looking for some guidance as I've been doing it all myself since 22 and now I'm 25 and finding a mentor has been difficult for me.

I currently own a rental property that generates $2,875 in gross rent. After expenses I take home ~$1,351(Mortgage, Water/Sewer landscaping etc). 

This rental is valued at ~$275k I owe ~$140k as I bought the property back in 2021 with a 3% interest. This rental is not my primary residence as I live in a different city. 

I've been contemplating on selling the rental and using the funds to flip properties. I've done only one flip in my life and that helped fund the downpayment for the rental so I wouldn't say doing a flip is scary as I've done it before. I'm just looking for the best decision to make and how to grow my real estate portfolio and not sure if holding the rental will do this but again due to not having someone to learn from maybe holding the rental is the better decision.

Any guidance and help would be much appreciated, thank you. 


 I wouldn't flip in today's market. What I would do is see what cash flow I would be comfortable with. If you can still cash flow 200-300mo after taking out 100k in equity and use that money to buy more rentals that cash flow would be the ideal solution. Yes rates are high, but they won't always remain that high.

usually 6mo seasoning required for DSCR, some may do as low as 3mo. Fannie/Freddie is 12mo

Quote from @Nate Herndon:

@Vadim F.

Origination at 2 points or $2500 (greater of) + ~$1800-$2700 underwriting/admin/legal fees (depending on the program)

That’s at 8.75% or 8.75% plus 2pts
Quote from @Nate Herndon:

Hi @Luke Tetreault, the DSCR looks great to me. A 75% loan would be too easy on 30-year fixed, DSCR program (closing in an entity). A private national lender will not cap you at 65-70% LTV so long as you have a 680+ FICO.

 @Nate Herndon what do the closing costs look like for a cash out refi like that?

@Manaswi Mishra I am in the Bay Area as well and the only way to make investing work here is flipping houses. Doing LTR here is tough as is due to current prices/rates and the tenant laws don't help either. You will be losing on cash flow and hoping for appreciation. Better off putting that money into a HYSA or CD and get 5+% there.

Quote from @Jolly Singh:

Hi - Wondering what could be the motivating factors to buy a newly constructed property in Roseville, CA which will guarantee to have negative cash flow (around 1200-1400) / month, for next 5 years at-least. Other than house appreciation which can be around 2%/year - isn;t one should keep looking for better deals with positive cash flow or atleast with less than 500 negative cash flow?

 What will you accomplish with negative cash flow and minimal appreciation? If you're sitting a pile of cash better off putting into a HYSA at 5%. If you're thinking more Bay Area buyers are going to move to Sacramento area or that rates will drop a big amount is wishful thinking.
