@Elizabeth TarasI don't think you realistically will be able to offset the sale of a business by buying real estate.If I may assume...  

I appreciate your honest take and realistic advice.

I think 70%-75% LTV on a cash out is much more realistic.  

But without seeing your pro forma assumptions, I can't say what's realistic or not for you.

I have 0 bills and I live at my parents house  NOT happening, be realistic You cant even get a loan, no job. 

However, just like the rest of REI that is going to depend largely on the are you are looking to purchase in.But if you do the numbers right, in most areas, it's absolutely a realistic goal to find a property cheap enough to have the supplemental rental income cover most, if not all, your mortgage costs.Hope that's helpful!

Underwrite with realistic projections.3.

how much realistically would i need to travel to Florida?

This is especially true when you utilize low money down to purchase multifamily.Caution with Out-of-State Investing: Investing out of state entails complexities and reliance on unfamiliar parties, which may pose challenges compared to local investments where you can easily drive to and learn more quickly about.Realistic Assessment of "Cashflow" Markets: While investing in cheaper, cashflow-focused markets out of state is popular, it's important to recognize that the numbers on paper often differ from reality, and success stories may not represent the norm.Manage Expectations: Be wary of overly optimistic narratives and calculations, and ensure your investment decisions are grounded in realistic expectations and thorough research.

I think #1 is most realistic but I do want to duplex it in the near future.
