Out of state cashflow

Victor Mejia#3 Out of State Investing Contributor

First time investor here and one of my questions is how realistic should i be when I start thinking about cashflow on a 2 family property after all expenses are paid for, on out of state investments. I heard 300$ is your average cash flow or can i expect to make more?

Great question!

The $300/month cash flow you've heard about is a solid benchmark for many markets, but it really depends on how well you buy and what your expenses look like. On a duplex, you might see $300–$500 per unit if you buy below market, manage expenses well, and don't over-renovate. That said, it's smart to budget conservatively closer to $200–$300 per unit especially after factoring in things like property management, maintenance, vacancies, and CapEx.

Focus more on your cash-on-cash return than just monthly cash flow. A strong deal should have cash flow and give you solid equity or appreciation potential over time.
