Would like to make some cash flow but understand holding the properties for 3 to 5 yrs is what will provide me the profit margins I'm looking for.So I'm all in for holding.If you've been doing this for years and have capacity for a mentee, I would be honored if you would consider having me 😊.I am currently attempting to build my team and have already identified a real estate agent to help with locating properties (he is also a real estate investor).

Purchase price: $275,000 Cash invested: $294,000 Sale price: $355,000 Seller was behind on pay HOA payments and in risk for losing the property.

You can test this, by asking some to SHOW you how they calculate ROI, Cap Rates, Cash-on-Cash, etc., for their clients.Many will say, "that's the investor's problem".They are correct because an investor should NOT rely anyone else to run their numbers.So, then what exactly makes them investor-friendly?

So if you are anticipating higher rents and therefore higher income next year you may want to wait till then if you are trying to maximize the amount of the cash out refi.

Purchase price: $275,000 Cash invested: $294,000 Sale price: $355,000 The property is a 2 bed 2 bath with a den and a 1 car garage.

Quote from @Dylan Webb: Hello, here's my situation:My wife and I own several properties separately.2 of the single family homes combined we have conservatively $150,000 in equity ($90,000, $60,000) I want to use one of these as collateral for a small loan of $30,000 to put down on a high cash flowing property OR have a lender finance the whole venture at a purchase price of $160,000.

Also, if you focus on the fundamentals of the real estate, particularly with SFH's the cash flow is truly secondary to other benefits.

You're never going to be 3% financing and if it cash flows, I would lean toward keeping it.

You may also cash a couple hundred bucks a monthThis is how it should work.

I have 1 partner who provides up to 75% of the down payment, however, my goal has always been to live below my means, save money, and invest the saved money as a downpayment.
