Cleveland, Ohio is a great market to focus on for cash flow and specific pockets have gone up 2x and upwards of 4x in the last 5-10 years even!

But honestly 40-45k back in your pocket doesn't do you much good in this market, especially with interest rates the way they are.

Will rent out the unit we’re leaving which covers about 65% of our new mortgage, if we pocketed it but that stays in the rental fund. 

@Zach Howard1) Get a 200k loan (3-4% interest, 5 years to repay) Use this to make a 100% cash purchase of 1, 2, or 3 properties in a C class neighborhood, and do the minimum rehab to make it rent-ready.option 1A: if you buy two to three $75K properties remotely, anywhere, you will get absolutely crushed, period, regardless of how you finance them. 

If it were me I would give them two or three months and respectfully answer their questions but also let them know what your ground rules are regarding taking calls and how you handle things - in other words be polite and also educative as to how you handle things.Good Luck!

Welcome to bigger pockets Tanya!

The 15 year fixed would be about $1,000 out of pocket monthly.We own other single family homes in the area and cash flow on those.

Thus, I'd expect something like the following for the next three years for US rents: 1) 2025 will not see much national rent growth as we continue to deliver so much supply that prices remain largely flat.

Assuming they save $10k in interest over three years and get $10k in cash flow and $10k in appreciation, it’s kind of similar to the cash offer, but definitely more aggressive.

Lauderdale area, but all three tri-counties.
