Cash flow to purchase price comparison
So everyone is looking for that elusive cash flow property that Brandon always talks about on the podcasts. That one property that you find that is a true cash cow that makes this time and effort all worth it.
But....what happens if you can't ever find it? I'm on my 100+ calculation on properties and to date I have found not a single property to cash flow more than $300 not including removal of expenses. To even get close I'm going to have to offer about half of the asking price which even my realtor said could be a slap in the face.
Example with rough numbers
Asking- 80k
Offering-49k
Rent- 800 on a very very good day
P&I- 500 on 15yr note
Cash flow- $300 not taking out for capex, repairs, management, etc...
So after this is all said and done, what is the cash flow minimum you will do? I've seen more than a handful of people who ''won't even get out of bed for less tha $300 including expenses being taken out.''
As you can see, offering 49k on a asking price of 80k could be just a joke to the seller. So what are my options and what is the hives mindset on how much cash flow you will ''get out of bed for?"
