Distributions are cash flow, not necessarily taxable income, as they often come from net rental income (already reported) or return of capital.

Purchase price: $570,000 Cash invested: $30,000 This is my first house hack!

In my market - new build duplexes dont cash flow well but are typically a great 5-10 year investment. 

My question is, do I just not touch the first property, use the cash flow to reinvest and pay down the mortgage or save up for a downpayment down the road OR do I pull cash out of the first property to buy the next property?

Government support is great.  

The guarantor brings the credit and cash to close.For GUC programs, the magic number is 1. 

My problem is that this house has a negative cash flow. 

Cleveland is cash flow, we do build to rent in columbus urban infill where prices are the highest and land prices make sense. rents are good and on a DSCR can pull out cash and do again. easy scalable strategy and sell the portfolio eventually 1031 into something greater.

Purchase price: $73,000 Cash invested: $25,000 I was charitable landlord renting to single mom below market rents.

Purchase price: $550,000 Cash invested: $145,000 Sale price: $915,000 This was a home run for a long term (5 years) buy & hold investment property (I specialize in this area). - Initial investment of $145K (DP+closing)- It had one tenant for 5 years and 3 months (no turnover), and the tenant paid off the mortgage and expenses in those 5 years.- I spent around $30K to do upgrades before selling.- Sold it for $915K after 5.5 years (received $442K at the closing)- Did 1031 exchange and bought 8 SFH in NE & AL worth of 1.6M (brings $4k/months income now) What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?
