It might sound scary at first but if you are looking to cashflow look out of state where the numbers make a lot more sense and you also won't get caught holding the bag on a vacancy one month thats over 3k just to profit a couple hundred monthly.

Thanks HI Chris,It looks like you may be getting a mixed bag of opinions. 

Still a Californian or newbie on BP will be convinced it has great cash flow and be the next bag holder unfortunately.

(i.e. coffee, take out, bagged lunches, cable....the List goes on)Once you have created a lean spending habit, start looking into finance options.

If I try to bake CC cookies with a bag of bolt's, yeah it's not gonna come out right, GIGO, the correct recipe must be followed. 

With a dozen doors and a management company I would be god damned if I was going to pay some douche bag $4,400 dollars to plug some numbers into a schedule E.

Probably keeping my Iowa properties, but packing my bags and moving to Florida in 2023.

We then provide a few starter k-cups and a bag of coffee for the drip side.  

Come if you can....but dont sweat it if you are buy that week.There is no cost no obligation....This group is intended to be a brown bag (lunch) sharing session for those interested in Jacksonville, FL investments.

Some questions to think on as you form a strategy:- do you have any money to use now to invest with- will you be a multi unit only, sfr only or mixed bag investor, or commercial- if you make an investment, or when you do rather, what number in monthly cash flow will you set as your floor in order to get involved in the deal (mine is 200$/month/property, or I don't buy)- can you find owner carry sellers- can you use a lease option or find lease option sellers- what grade of property or neighborhood/tenant will you be targeting- what fits best into your life as far as time management with the young kids at this point- do you have anything to bring to the table in order to partner up with someone to make all this a bit easier- according to your opportunities you find out there, what additional streams of income can you identify to go along with target properties or create as a result of being an investor (some people are agents, brokers, property managers, some use coin op laundry in multi units etc etc etc)All these types of things can go on forever as far as lists are concerned, but you'll have to find a comfortable place to start/enter investing and evaluate things as you go along and readjust as time passes.
