Cash flow is king as the saying goes.  

It has significant negative cash flow and it sounds like he has a mortgage so he cannot owner finance a first position lien.

I'm nervous on how leveraged I am, even though properties are cash flowing.

Since you are looking for cash flow, can you get the kind of cash flow in Riverside or Inland Empire that you can get in Columbus, Indianapolis or Baltimore?

how long is it going to take to pay yourself back for the furnace with $80 a month in "cash flow"? 

LD investing will be my goal for the medium term and hope to connect with others that want to own some cash flow properties!

Both of these condos have strong potential for medium-term rentals in Estero and Bonita Springs, especially with the steady flow of snowbirds and seasonal tenants.

Quote from @Yoni Meth: Hey All,I’m currently investing in Columbus, OH, and generally happy with the market, but I’m looking to expand into another area where single-family home prices are more in the $100–$150K range.My criteria:Strong cash-flow potential (ideally close to the 1% rule).Reasonable appreciation upside.Population growth and a diverse job market.Normal/Reasonable property tax rates (nothing extremely high that kills cash flow)Neighborhoods with acceptable crime levels, preferably C and above, avoiding high-risk “D” areasIf anyone has experience in markets that fit this profile, or recommendations for cities/markets worth exploring, I’d appreciate your insights.Thanks!

Once you move out later, the cash flow improves (your report shows that too — cash flow slowly climbs over the next few years).A few thoughts:1.

I’ve read several books on buy-and-hold investing, cash-flow analysis, and Overfunded High Cash Value Whole Life (private banking/IBC) strategies.
