Not sexy but I sleep like a baby every night and cash those checks on the 1st of every month!!

Was that purchase money, rate and term refi, or cash out refi?

Jackson County TDR is working hard to position our area as a year-round destination, and it is catching on, but I wouldn't count on significant, year-round cash flow from a vacation rental here.

Focus and consistency are going to be your best friends.Also, I wouldn't tackle buy-and-holds right now unless you currently have a high cash flow revenue stream in place.

Good to know as I have a property coming on the market and we had one off market offer already all cash but at 10% list price discount (which we most likely will reject).Curious if you think the california fires will assist the market since many of those people need places to live for years and I am guessing some will flee california?

Look for properties with high cash flow potential, good condition, and room for improvement, such as value-add opportunities.

Purchase price: $375,000 Cash invested: $87,000 STR What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

@Apryl Skahill To get your risk-averse spouse on board with real estate investing, start by educating him with beginner-friendly resources that highlight the long-term stability, cash flow potential, and tax benefits of real estate, such as depreciation deductions and offsetting W-2 income.

Depending on the seller, you may sweeten the deal, by letting them know that they don't immediately need to cash out, or can partly cash out.

As a realtor in the Boston area for the last ten years, and successful AirBnB owner up in NH, I’m ready to shift my focus to building a strong cash flowing portfolio.
