Incredibly genuine person and is a multi-family syndicator.

I’m genuinely curious about this perspective.I meant this would affect Bryon City, Cosby, Cherokee, Blue Ridge, etc (Cabin/Mountain Markets in the Area).

Also consider contacting houses that look vacant, simply door knocking in a neighborhood that you are interested in and talking to the homeowners in a genuine way, For Sale By Owners is another potential, using an App like Nextdoor or Facebook pages/groups related to local real estate and just telling the group what you are looking for, contractors also know about houses coming on the market soon and so do property management companies, and finally garage sales are a good way to find off-market properties as people prepare to sell.To Your Success!

Looking at the responses on this forum, I appreciated the thoroughness of a few answers and the genuine curiosity of another respondent.

I would find a property that can provide you both.I used to aim for 8% cash on cash return + 4% appreciationGiven where the market is now, it is likely hard to find 8% cash-on cash and a 4% appreciation.I think 4% cash-on cash and 4% appreciation is do-able.

How do others manage to create positive cash flow from MF properties with debt?

It is not a strategy that I particularly like, especially when you are low on cash.

If you're looking for cash flow you can easily make $300/mo net on a single family property in a better neighborhood/condition.

I use that cash to scale up and buy more cash flowing houses with zero $ out of pocket.

A lot of newer investors hear older podcasts when people where buying brrrrs, making money on the cash out refi and then cash flow.
