@Paul Whitehurst Without equity or cash it is very hard to scale.

Our ability to offer cash and close quickly gave us an edge, allowing us to secure the property under market value and position it for a seamless resale.

Always smart to see the bigger picture and future cash flow potential!

Pittsburgh is a good market to make money in now cash flow wise and has good upside as well if you know what you are doing. 

Before jumping into the condo, I’d take a closer look at whether the $300/month cash flow is worth it compared to other options, like a small multi-family property or a property in a higher-yield market.

Purchase price: $271,000 Cash invested: $30,000 Duplex with 1 bed, 1 bath in each unit + 3 car garage in a great neighborhood.

If you want cash flow, start or buy a business.

I learned a difficult lesson buying Class C "cash flow on paper" properties in Indianapolis metro area (and I knew that area and lived there before, just not down to a detailed level).

While the taxes on the listing may seem reasonable if it turns out they’re 300% more than they were two years ago just because the community has increased its spending this is a trend that will quickly make your cash flow evaporate.

Another great option is the BRRRR method (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat), where you buy a fixer-upper, renovate it, rent it out, and refinance to pull your cash back for the next deal, and this is a good route because most private lenders can go higher LTV than on a rental loan!
