Cash Flow Question

Jacob Eddy

Alright BP folks, first question for ya!... So, when Brandon and Josh speak of finding a house that cash flows, are they saying that it needs to cash flow without any money down or assuming that the investor is putting down 20-30%?  Obviously, it would be better if it cash flowed without any money down, but is it still considered a good investment if you need a down payment to make it cash flow? Thanks!

Like you said, it would be ideal to be able to cash flow with no money down. The majority of people don't and aren't able to put down 20+%. To answer your question, yes, it could still be a good investment even if it needs a down payment to make it cashflow. The key is to buy it at the right price and have more than just one exit strategy.
