The ideal home price for you will depend on: 1) downpayment size 2) risk appetite, 3) preference for more cash flow or appreciation.Given our price points, our investors need to have 35-45K to start, on average.The typical cash-on-cash return on our properties net of loan payments, insurance, taxes, and property management fees is 6-8%.Ultimately, you can obtain financing from any lender, although we have partner lenders that can provide very competitive rates.

@Brett Jurgens,With strong equity and a good tenant, you have a few options:Cash-Out Refinance: Offers lower, fixed rates for stable monthly payments and lets you keep the property while using equity to invest in another rental.HELOC: Provides flexible access to cash, though with typically higher, variable rates that can fluctuate over time.1031 Exchange: If you're open to selling, a 1031 exchange could defer taxes and allow you to trade up to a higher-value property or diversify into a different market.Each option has pros, so it really depends on whether you want to hold onto the current property or leverage its value for something new.

Typically it's 70-80% range.
