While it seems like there are some better priced deals lately, you may have to be prepared to put down 30-40% down.I'd say due to the lack of homes for sale, you should be open to many if not most cities depending on the deal that comes up. 

Quote from @Dylan Webb: Hello, here's my situation:My wife and I own several properties separately.2 of the single family homes combined we have conservatively $150,000 in equity ($90,000, $60,000) I want to use one of these as collateral for a small loan of $30,000 to put down on a high cash flowing property OR have a lender finance the whole venture at a purchase price of $160,000.

You can't beat the price, either, or the interest rate on deposits.

Hello Solomon,A few tips I have for you would be to first; Analyze Deals Properly – Use the 1% rule (monthly rent ≥ 1% of purchase price) and calculate cap rate, cash flow, and ROI before buying. 

If you are in a large metro area, it's a slam dunk.You can get semi-antique persian rugs on FB Marketplace for the same price you can get a cheap fake at Lowes. 

Buying the land right (at a good price) will determine the end result of cash flow (if building the home to keep) especially as you factor in Holding costs and Builder fees. 

If this is your first real estate purchase I would stay away from auctions, there's too much risk involved especially with where price points are in your market.

In this post, I will explain the criteria and the information sources.Income requirements for financial independence:Rents increase faster than inflation: Inflation erodes the value of money over time, causing prices for goods and services to rise.

We also look forward to networking because that is the fastest way companies grow.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!
