Looking for just pure cash flow

[Taylor Thompson]

I plan on getting my first rental in spring and looking for just pure cash flow. I don’t care about appreciation or any other factors as much as cash flow so I was wondering if I should get a duplex or a single family house. Should I rent out the rooms individually in the single family house or Airbnb it and just wondering what method is generally the best for cash flow. Thanks

Airbnbs do very well in many areas, but the big wildcard is regulation. Some areas have effectively shut down the Airbnb business, including my city. If you do go that route, be certain to understand your regulatory environment before you invest any capital.
