However if it is a larger property I comp it like I do a commercial property with a cap rate and with cash flow.

I suggest keeping track of these key features which range from cap rate to, cash flow, ROI, and asset comparison.

It is going to be near impossible to cash flow on a property with 100% financing, especially if that partners rates are above conventional rates.

Build up your cash as you build your knowledge and network5.

But if you can secure one with solid terms, it could be a great way to access capital while keeping the rental.If you believe in 28277’s continued appreciation (and I do), I’d lean towards holding the rental, increasing rents through strategic upgrades, and leveraging equity via a HELOC or cash-out refinance if the terms make sense.

That creates a really nice price / rent ratio which is favorable for investors looking for cash flow.

I guess my only other option is to add padlocks onto the cash boxes on top of the regular keyed entry.

I'm living off of cash reserves and burning through it - there is a well dry date looming on the horizon.

This will help guide your decision opposed to investing somewhere for a novel reason.for example for me it was cash flow, price to rent ratio, land lord tenant laws and availability of multi-families(Just to name a few). 

I don't like their cash mgt thou but I think they are doing some improvement.
