My fellow agent Jennifer Flynn is great in handling rental properties...she can get you tenants and manage your monthly activities well.

Rents continue to climb as well but likely not enough to keep up with increasing monthly mortgage payments when considering interest rates and soaring property values.There are 2 main schools of thought when considering investing in an expensive market like Long Island.- Robert Kiyosaki, Grant Cardone, and similar thinkers believe its best to invest in markets with higher cashflow while renting where you want to live.

In Ohio you can find a lot of single family in the $100-200k range or 2-4 units in the $150-400k range that do pretty well cash flow.

Bought under value and currently adding a couple more homes and have brought two new tenants in as well What was the outcome?

More than likely you would need to give up around 70-80% of equity and own a minority - some deals would allows you to buy it back at a set price as well. 

I'm also well-versed in creative finance.

Have since insured a triplex with them as well, saving several hundred dollars in the process.

However, there is a specific deal Which I find hard to understand the ARV for.It is a Single Family Home, 2 Bedroom 1 Bathroom, 850 SQFT.These two comps have a price gap I find hard to understand, even when considering the difference in renovation level.If anyone knows this market well enough to understand the cause of this difference, and if it might be due to an issue with the location, or if there is anything I am missing.Comp 1 - 1011 Elm Street, Burlington, NC, 27217 (120K)Comp 2 - 1109 Walnut Street, Burlington, NC, 27217 (120K)Comp 3 - 1505 N Park Ave, Burlington, NC, 27217 (180K)Thank you!

I stuck to it and it has treated me well over the years.I did not start investing ( other than buying a home to live in) till many years later..

If it sold for $120K in 2007  , and your rent is $2000 a month , the landlord is probably cash flowing rather well .
