Of you’re tired of endless negotiations, shotgunning offers to sellers who have no intention of selling, or chasing every “deal” that’s never going to be sold at a price an investor can profit, give this method a shot.  

I have three listings, 1. unit with a pool and hot tub, 2. unit with a hot tub, 3. both units together as a 12 sleeper.Gross monthly income (after booking channel fees) for the first unit over a 7 month period was $7309.Gross monthly income for both units over a 14 month period is $11,297 (after booking channel fees) As a long term rental the combined rent would be in the region of $5500.Is it possible to sell the property based on the income generated by the STR business or would the value always be based on bricks and mortar comps? 

However, we also recognize the time value of money, so while it might pencil out to turn a profit, but we get an immediate payback versus a six to nine month holding time, it might make more sense to sell them both as bare land.  

There are certain areas of KC that play more towards appreciation and there are off market deals that generate good cash flow and appreciation. 

Also the school districts have been increasing property taxes in A LOT of investment properties thus eating some of our profits. 

Do you want a company that will keep the long-range investment objectives in mind or one that focuses on today and today's profit alone?     

I also know finding a quadplex as a first property in Orange County isn’t going to be easy, but I’m open to hearing people’s thoughts.My goal isn’t to turn a profit right away—I know properties here might not have positive cash flow for a few years.

(Maybe the seller has a great interest rate, but you would have to pay twice that amount which wouldn't be profitable.)11) Crime in the neighborhood. 12) High turnover in tenants (raising your expenses.)

Adding the current mortgage and utilities would be roughly $1,350 resulting in a profit of $650/mo.

Overall, managing an apartment with Section 8 tenants can be super rewarding, but it takes careful planning to keep things running smoothly and profitable.
