Strategies for investing in a hot market

[Pascual Torres]

Hello,

In my area it has gotten pretty hard to find a home that you can buy and rent and have some cash flow (using the 20% down). What I mean is prices are high and your rental income wouldn't cover your mortgage. Prices have slowly climbed up pretty high (relatively speaking) .What strategies have you guys used in such market? Does this mean we are at the top of a peak?
