Long term thinking will help you at the time of a sale and the time you owned will typically have increased in value. 

You should look into selling and reinvesting to increase cash flow.

I am looking to add leverage strategy in order to increase my innovatory of flips.

The area is growing and I anticipate rents going up as well as house prices, i don't want to bet on this but it does give me some comfort that equity will increase over the next few years.  

I am supposedly, my agent does not inspire confidence, going into contract today on a 6 Family unit a bit outside of the area outlined. 

When I looked through the ones here on BP I noticed a someone saying that they didn't think that that would hold up in Colorado; this undermined my confidence in using them, so I reaching out to see if I could give some guidance. 

Earlier this week we distributed rent increase notices to tenants at a property we purchased a couple of months ago here in Kansas City.

I am confident in the ARV being 160-165k. 

One way would be to increase the rent immediately by the next month if its a month to month.

To us, we're happy with this because it's in a place where we think the house will increase in value and it's a place we plan to live in down the road.
