(So hands off as much as possible.)I'm looking to buy all cash deals (but I could be convinced to be leveraged if there is still ample cash flow.)I'm open to location.

NASA is stepping up efforts to give us ample time before Big Rock Hits Earth.

@Florian KuehneHi Florian,I think those cash flow and return numbers are definitely attainable for a house hack, especially if you force appreciation through the initial renovation. 

Now before we make any steps we want to have all the information that is attainable first!

The rental rates are decent, and can be great if acquiring properties at typical investor discounts. 1-1.5% rental to price ratios are still very attainable in A & B Neighborhoods, and sometimes up to 2% if investing in C Areas.

I find the results are more consistent and easier to attain.

@John Vang- normal - you pay the  first yrs  premium at closing  ....your monthly payment  includes  1/12th of your ins  premium  that you pay monthly  ..this amount compiles in yourloans  impoun account so that when the  premium is due in a year  - there should be ample funds in the impound account to  be  disbursed  by the lender to the insurance  firm to  pay for the insurance for year #2 

I prefer to be more exact and account for selling costs to accurately reflect the attainable equity, but others may skip including realtor/closing costs.In general, if I'm getting an 8% cash on cash return, my ROE is likely around 12-16% year 1.

If they do not extend the term; 5 years still gives you ample time to refinance.

- Sellers: Short market times and ample demand are very real but will not show up in price the way you would think.
