Eric M. Out of state for easier entry? Would you do this deal?
27 February 2026 | 8 replies
I've found an area I like with low property taxes, easy entry, and low rental inventory and it has a great one stop shop property manager that will do everything - purchase, light rehab, rent, maintenance, future sale but the long term numbers in the area aren't that exciting other than easy entry.Example of what I'm finding:Purchase price: $100KForced equity by getting it rent ready also adds 20%-30% to value with a few weeks of workTwo months average time on market to rent$1200 - $1400 monthlyCash flow $100 month after all expenses, PM, vacancies, CAP/EX etc.The trade off for easy entry is low rental increases and low appreciation Do these numbers look worthwhile assuming adding multiple properties per year?
