Have had dry powder for a while, but can't commit more until this improves, so may just turn to other markets ie ohio and indy.Cheers,Brandon

The givens though in any quest are the same-- be in position to hold for 10 years or longer(ideally) and keep ample dry powder.

The last two times we served him , the guy had white powder in his nose when answering the door.

So if you have the money now and can afford to apply it to this property, then you should "keep your powder dry" and save the no down option for a mortgage down the line which will most likely be a larger amount.  

Hi Todd,  I live right around the corner in Powder Springs. 

Miss Calliope was a habitual three-pack-a-dayer of the cheapest Greek puffies.Early in her occupancy, Miss Calliope had had the bedroom painted in the cheapest possible paint, kalsomine, a powder paint product that went out of style here in the USA circa 1900, but due to its extremely low cost, was still available in Greece until 1980 or thereabouts.

Once prices seem to reflect the current environment then I have no problem deploying powder, just not there yet.  

I also put down around 50% so monthly cash flow around $835.Powder Springs Property purchased in 2018 at 150K, 3b2b as investment, but I felt in love with the big flat yard and country living so we downsized and move here.

Assuming you have the additional dry powder to make another investment, it may be your only hope to make the tax event less painful.

I used a powder cleaner like Comet or Ajax.The paint started sagging all over the place.
