The cash flow improves quickly, but the cash flow is so negative on retail purchases that it will take years to reach cash neutral.  

Our job is to rapidly identify, qualify and analyze all listings, tour the propsect as soon as possible and write workable and winnable offers.

The problem many of us run into is being in New England, many of the markets are high cost, high appreciation markets that we either can't get pre qualified for, or even after moving out will struggle to cash flow.Another big constraint is that many of us have W-2 jobs in engineering that require some days in the office, and these types of higher paying jobs are primarily in major cities (most of us are in the Boston area).Lastly, a lot of us have significant others that may be less interested in living somewhere "random" because it makes sense as an investment.

While the co-signers add some security, the family’s newness to the U.S. and uncertain job situation make them a higher risk overall. 

His roadmap for retirement is $500k liquid assets, paid off primary home, and more than 1 income source (real estate, part time job, social security if old enough, etc.).

They would do a stellar job helping you navigate and landing hand managing :)

I'm a small business owner and my partner has a corporate job. 

On another note, I had a lengthy conversation with VRBO last night while we both looked at one of my listings and came up some ways to improve it. 

I personally recommend checking Columbus OH - lots of job growth, population growth, and major companies moving and developing here.

Am I giving myself another job/business?
