So yes, you can 100% find cash flowing real estate in CFL right now, you just need to be strategic.

Especially the first time something bad happens (and something bad will happen) such as an eviction, slap leak, collapsed sewer run, new roof, etc it could be challenging to see the positive of having a cash negative rental.Make sure you are mentally prepared to supplement this property for potentially years through some difficult events.good luck

Did a sizable reduction of our stock positions into cash equivalents.  

From my experience, the most important things early on are keeping your deals cash-flow positive, running the numbers on every property, and having a solid plan for value-add opportunities, think small updates that can increase rent or reduce vacancies.

No plans to pull any equity out currently, but need to start thinking and strategizing this for the future. 

Thanks for the positivity, we need it!
