@Richard Sherman 

iv bin looking into Oregon's market keizer/ salem area I have found a few properties there but when I plug in the numbers it doesnt cash flow unless I offer at the 70% rule. I'm looking in that market because I'm moving back. but for example the iowa market I can go buy properties like you said low and cash flow quite a bit. I'm thinking that I might just start investing in the midwest as properties are cheaper in cost and cash flow easier.

hello everyone! I have bin seeing alot of multifamily homes that are priced according to the market in the area, makes sense, but they say the property is cash flowing. I can see how it is for them but at the current price and rental rates I would be a negatively cash flowing property. if I offer 30% below the market to get the property to cash flow it, would you think people would actually expect? my realtor is awesome he said its just business and explain that to the sellers the worst they can say is no and to just move on would you agree

I wasnt approved for near as much as my first home, they said I had a high debt to income because of the other house how to people keep financing homes and not have this problem???
