Unless you are nearing the collapse of civilization, it's not a bad time to invest, IF you can find quality investments. That last part is the main problem.

@Edward Dandrea look at the numbers.

$20K all in.

rental profit per year $8400 (using your numbers)

Payback of your investment 4.7 years?

Keep it if all your numbers are correct.  Or you can sell it with owner financing and just collect a profit each month?

Good Investing...


 It's a mobile home, and he's probably aware of what happens to the value for the owner over the long haul.

Is your plan for this property to fix and flip it or live in it?


 I’m planning on living in it. 


 

I’m planning on living in it.

The crickets are chirping now because buying a home to live in usually ends up as a liability, rather than an asset, which is an essential distinction for an investment.

Money or not, honestly, where do you think you are seeing deals laying around these days? 


 What market are you in? 


 Looking in the suburbs of metro Detroit (excluding lousy areas, which is a lot of them) and Los Angeles- which is a fantasy land at this point. 


 Gotcha! I can't speak to those areas but there are definitely people still doing deals in here. Things are definitely more difficult though. 


 Yes, but the deals they do, are deals they probably shouldn't be doing, is the problem.

I’m trying to find a good place to invest for cash flow and future appreciation , any suggestions? 


It does not matter where you start as long as you develop your Core 4. The core 4 is David Greene’s long-distance investing strategy and consists of a realtor, contractor, property manager, and lender. Once you have this team in place, you should be able to invest in any market confidently.

As for picking a specific market - I would go after one with an increasing job and population growth. I invest and work in Columbus, Ohio. I am also looking to invest in Cincinnati and Cleveland.

 Ok. So if I build my core 4, then it won't matter that I want cash flow in Los Angeles right? 

That's a tough one to swallow.

The best time of year to buy is after a major market correction. Otherwise, don't fool yourself.

Where you go from here depends on how good that first deal you just did is and/or your other income level. 

Is that first property generating positive cash flow?

John Oliver agrees with you.
