Leverage your existing equity to invest in smaller properties, such as a mixed-use or retail space, to gain experience and cash flow.

I’m open to either a townhouse or a single-family home, but I’m definitely trying to steer clear of any crazy HOAs that eat into cash flow (you know what I’m talking about!).

.$300k cash flow in 20 years is an ambitious but not unrealistic goal. 

The cash flow either way.

Once you’ve built some confidence and systems, you can start exploring additional markets.I personally focus on 2 markets that are about 20 mile radius.Make sure the market(s) you choose align with your investing goals, whether that’s cash flow, appreciation, or both.

And getting the Eliot Ness of $ as executioner to those corrupt $ flows. 

@Treza Edwards "I am reading the Rental Property Investing book and implementing the method that focuses on cash flow and that strategy states you need to have $300 cash flow per month, per property.

Do you need cash flow from it for income or will light to no cash flow work if you can groundswell appreciation on a good asset?

@John Reagan Johnson hope you don't mind a PMC answering, but most of our clients hire us because:1) They live out of state and don't have time & expertise to remote manage2) They don't have the time to manage3) They don't feel they have the necessary expertise and/or don't want to risk learning as they go and making an expensive mistake.Go read Kiosaki's Cash Flow Quadrant book.
