Best decision for long term cash flow ?
Good afternoon, I'm still new to the BP community but I've been doing a lot of reading throughout the forum. Since recently closing my first commercial business I have plenty of free time & decided it's time to become fully involved as an investor. My first goal is to supplement my current income with cash flow from rental property. My initial thought was to acquire a single family, rehab, and rent. But from my research here it seems as though obtaining a multi-family would make more sense for creating cash flow and less headache by having a property management company involved. I'm located in the thriving market within the DC metro area, but I am open to all markets.
