Curious What Everyone's Cash Flow Is
My average CF on a 3/2/2 SFH in southeast Harris County worth about 160k - 190k, at 75% LTV, is about $300 month. That $300 month is after PITI only, actual CF after repairs, maintenance, PITI, and vacancies is about $100 month. So for me that's about $100 a month per house that I could spend on personal living expenses if I wanted to. I have been a member of LU off and on for many years but I have never experienced the $500 - $700 per month of spendable CF that they proclaim on a newly purchased properties at 75% LTV. I ask because I am refinancing a couple of my properties and I'm trying to figure out where to invest the proceeds. Buying more houses with $100 month CF does not excite me too much. Buying properties with $500 - $700 month real actual CF would excite me. So I'm asking other Houston area investors what your typical CF is?
