Hi Brad,

I wouldn't wait for a crash. You are right in wanting properties to cash flow. Looks like you have started a plan by knowing about how many rentals you want or need to accomplish your goals. I would encourage you to right down you plan and goals.

Have you looked into turn key rentals? With a turn key you buy an existing cash flowing property. The drawback is you don't get much of a discount on the price and you'll likely be looking at B type neighborhoods so the price might be a little high. But it might be a good way to get started with your first rental. Roofstock is a turn key operation. You might want to do some due diligence with this method.

Best,

Simon

Hi Simon,

Have you loked into, or bought from a TK provider? If you have any insights in this space, please share. I am curious, if numbers will actually workout.

@John Morgan

In DFW 1% rule can be difficult to achieve, but with price appreciation, cash out refi can achieve similar IRR in long term. You focus on certain areas? Or wherever deals might be?

@Landon Whitaker

That's what I am looking to do. I prefer to buy, rehab and pass on to a good property manager, so I can focus on never deal. Do you have any one you can refer me to, I will like to talk to them.

That's very encouraging. Did you guys mostly do it on your own, or have a team? Any company or agents you recommend?

If you don't mind sharing how you gathered the information on different markets, and please share the spreadsheet that you mentioned.
