Because I am just getting into real estate, I feel more comfortable investing in the same place that I am living in.

But I'm comfortable that with a 93% occupancy average, I will still come out ahead at $550 a month on the cash flow.$350 might be a little on the low end so depending on the house type (built in 90's yes, built in 50's no), the equity capture, etc, I might pass on $350 or I might say yes to $350.But I just think that a buy and hold investor needs to be most concerned with cash flow and this should give you a solid way to compare apples to apples.Here's one example of a deal I just closed on two months ago that isn't really a great house but it is a great cash flow house.3/2 ,1450 sq ft but a much older home (50's).

It comes down to who are you comfortable borrowing from and the rates they want to charge.Good luck!

The survey also found that 28% of all Americans don't have the confidence that they will have enough to retire comfortably.

She complained the entire way through closing that we were "stealing the house from her" (as she signed document after document) and that she should be getting the full purchase price (Even though there was more than $12k in unpaid taxes and utility bills), and that the house was "beautiful" and that we could "just move in"All in all, pretty funny in retrospect.Anyway, here are some of the "before" pictures...Front yard -Back bedroom -Weird back room that someone DIY-added somewhere in the distant past -Another of that same room -Kitchen -Bathroom -Hallway -Front bedroom -Dining room -Front porch -Living room -Front of house - Back of house -Back yard -Side of house -

I hope by starting out young, I will one day create a more comfortable life for my wife and I down the road.

I am comfortable with the flipping avenue but see much to explore through fourms.

I'm sure there are some year-round multi-families there, but I imagine it'd be more stable/comfortable/cheaper to own that kind of property off the cape (?).

He is comfortable with me, but not with an end-buyer who isn't known yet.

Now I feel way more comfortable.
