But the B class duplex properties in my area (Springfield MO) are priced so they don't cash flow before they're paid off. in other words I have to cover $300-600/month for about 5 years (on a $250K+ properties).The reason I can pay off in 5 years is I have ability to pay large amounts against principal every month (from my regular job income), but I only have 82K for a down payment.Once it's paid off, the property would produce almost 1000$ net cash flow.Are these good numbers or do I need to do things differently?

I'm also regularly seeing other investors buy below 70% ARV straight off the MLS and below 50% ARV off-market for houses around the median which is $825k here as of Q2.

Mine usually don’t produce much at all the first 2 or 3 years.

@Anthony Liguori with how difficult Newark NJ makes it for landlords unless the laws change there are many other options for markets around North Jersey which will produce amazing returns and way less stress for landlord. 500-700k properties in the right area have best shot at hitting 1% rule, even in todays market.   

Six acres in a fast-developing area plus an income-producing remodeled house should be getting some bites, so if you’re not seeing showings after two months, it’s probably less about the property and more about how it’s being marketed and who it’s reaching.Here’s what I’d look at:1.

if its an investmenet property - there are not many ( if any)  lenders doing regular or DSCR  loans on rental MH homes 

Adding the ability to run sensitivity analyses for ARV, rehab costs, or holding period can help flippers stress-test deals and make the tool valuable for regular use.

There is a reason that successful hotel chains regularly renovate their interiors - trends change and highly utilized furniture and furnishings get damaged, worn and need replacement.

Aside from San Antonio, investors are also active in places like Fort Worth, Waco, and parts of the Houston suburbs.I work with out of state investors regularly and would be happy to be a resource if you’re ever looking to plug into the South Texas market.
