Starting Out Need Help w/ Appreciation Concept

[Ashley Dixon]

Hello All, 

I am just starting out in my investment journey for real estate. I am looking in the San Antonio market and my goal is to invest in SFH in B/C+ neighborhoods with the plan of holding the property long term for appreciation and use of equity. My question is when investing in these sort of properties do you just accept that you are going to be "negative" cash flow? Or should I still be only looking at properties that break even with cash flow. Thanks for the help!
