Quote from @Walter Bowser:

Hi Ryan, I actually own 9512 Ashford Dr, just up the street from you. My property is currently renting for $1,800 per month. I would keep your house even if its a a bit negative as you won't be able to sell for much profit or any. The appreciation will come when its a sellers market. I am a local Property Manager and would love to help in anyway I can of youd like

Thank you! What's your email?

Quote from @Rob Drum:

@Ryan Johnston A couple of questions worth asking.. Is $150 negative cashflow a lot for you? Is this your only rental? How much did you put down when you purchased it? 

If you put less than 5% down, your return on equity is likely sky-high. You've got to include loan pay down, appreciation, and depreciation in your return calculations.

The point of cash flow is to keep you safe. If you can cover small negative cashflow without destabilizing yourself or the property it's not a problem IMO


Thanks! Yes, it was 3.5 % down FHA.

@Vivian Yip How would I go about adding on insurance databases for consideration to help displaced homeowners get temporary housing?

Yes possibly! The AF base is about 20 mins from the house. I'm curious as well how likely someone would want to buy the furniture with the house as well.

Yes thank you! I've been on for a while but this is my first post!

Sales price: 227k

I would be hopeful for like 240k-246K possibly. With the option of a fully furnished home as well! All the furniture could be an addition.

Zip: 73099 in Yukon, OK

I bought this property as a brand-new turn-key property in December 2022 (3bed & 2bath-1544 sq-ft). Lived in the house for 1 year. For most of the 1st year I house hacked and rented out my 2 spare bedrooms, for 6 months that covered the mortgage. After that I moved out and did Airbnb for 4-6 months but struggled keeping up with it not living in the same city anymore, so I switched it to a long-term rental. I'm having to offer this as a fully furnished house to be able to charge a premium on rent just to get close to the mortgage. I've kept it rented out consistently, however, I'm negative $75-$150 in cash flow a month. Mortgage rates have kept increasing as well, that's why I put a range on negative cash flow. Thanks for reading!
