The investor has to be gaining cash flow or equity to make it worth it.

However, you have to be extremely careful financing 100% of the transaction as you still need reserves, closing costs, etc. and make sure it cash flows.You didn't mention if this would be a rental or owner occupied. 

I’m currently targeting properties in the $200K–$500K range, depending on the location and potential cash flow.

We've rented out some of our best investment properties (New Construction/Turnkey) to Sec 8 residents, and the rent guarantee always helps in achieving consistent cash flow each month.

Purchase price: $165,000 Cash invested: $35,000 That's right.

So depending on if you are using it personally and want to have it pay for itself or you just want cash flow will help determine where you should look and what type/size home you want to consider.Please reach out anytime and let me know if I can be of help.

It is much more difficult to sell an entire portfolio that has become uninsurable (which would require a cash only sale) or that insurance rates are so high that no one wants to buy. 

Due to economies of scale and technological advancements the prices naturally go down dramatically.

Purchase price: $90,000 Cash invested: $15,000 What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

high interest rates have hurt cash flow and long term rentals are still a great investment... they're just not going to throw off rental income in the first few years of ownership.
