Hi,

I’m looking for investor friendly realtors in Ohio, WV, DE and PA to help me acquire fix & flip projects. Please get in touch with me if you’re interested.

I've been running the numbers on my first primary residence that I will be moving out of in June. BLUF - this would be my first rental property and I'm on the fence about what to do with the home. I currently have about $112,000 worth of equity and also have my VA loan tied up in the property. I locked in a great rate at 2.25% in 2021. My house is located in an appreciating area outside of the Denver Metro area. I will be moving out of state and I will be bringing on a PM company.

After running the numbers, I would be facing negative cash flow every month after accounting for all the expenses (Annually about $1,000 - and that's the rosy estimate)  Is it worth it?  If I sell the home, I don't plan on doing anything with the proceeds other than parking it in a HYSA.  I would love to keep the home for many reasons - potential appreciation, landlord experience, tax benefits.  But at the end of the day, it will not cash flow. 

In what cities/neighborhoods would a turnkey property yield the best cash flow & appreciation?

I’m looking to acquire my first rental property, leaning towards multi family. I currently live in Michigan, but I plan on moving to Florida. Should I be looking in Florida? I’m not experienced with being a landlord, so I wasn’t sure if I should first acquire a rental close to home to learn the ropes or if I should just look into Florida with a property management company since I plan on moving there within the next to years. Any advice?

Hello everyone,

I'm in the process of building a strong team in Cleveland, OH, as we aim to grow our portfolio in the area. Our main focus is on section 8 rentals, and we're currently seeking a reliable property manager and contractor who can help us bring properties to rent-ready conditions. If anyone has contacts they've had positive experiences with or are currently working with, I'd greatly appreciate any recommendations. Feel free to send me a private message!

Thank you!

Hi all, I am new to this board, and I am new to investing in real estate.  I am looking forward to connecting and learning from those who are more experienced in doing passive income.  I am in NJ, but I would like to explore opportunities in landlord-friendly states for rental income through commercials or apartments or houses.  Any leads or tips on how to start are appreciated.  Thanks.  

I’m looking to purchase a quadruplex in an appreciating market. Not necessarily looking for cash flow but wanting to break even at least. Budget is 800k-1m. Any market recommendations?

Hello all, 

Trying to get into US Real-estate market from Canada.

Interested in Cash flow properties. 

Where can I start?

Any help would be super appreciated.

Thank you

I'm currently an owner of a 1 bedroom condo in the SF Bay Area, California that has performed okay on AirBNB and on the private market.

I've got about $120k cash saved up (I know, not much, but thought it wouldn't hurt to ask)

I'm looking to buy a second condo in cash, and am an all cash investor for religious reasons and do not deal with loans, etc.

Are there any recommended regions in the US where I can get a Studio, 1 bedroom, or 2 bedroom condo for around $120k cash all in?

I've considered places like Florida (Orlando, Tampa), North Carolina (Raleigh, Charlotte), Ohio (Columbus, Cincinatti), Kentucky (Louisville).

Have also considered places in Central California like Fresno, Bakersfield, etc 

My goal is to just rent it out on the private market and make some extra cash flow. 

Would be nice to also have the ability to rent it out short term (AirBNB, etc) but this isn't totally necessary. 

Any locations that may fit my budget and provide a decent return?

I know it may be ideal to focus on Central California since I'm about a 2.5 hour drive from there, but the landlord friendly laws of other states entice me and I get concerned if I buy in California I'll end up getting a bad tenant without the ability to easily get them to leave.
