They're affordable enough to allow good cash flow, while also attracting decent tenant quality.

So why not put that money to work and start building up some cash flow?

Affordable deals do not typically produce cash flow.  

Open to cash flowing properties too if the numbers are right. 

Taxes and insurance are high in West Texas but I have run the numbers at a few different price points and thankfully, it will still cash flow for an investor with 25% down.

Would love cash flow, of course, but if I could at least break even on a highly appreciating property, I'd be happy with that. 

Cash flow should not be your only consideration.

Good way to build a list of commercial firms in that area that have some deal flow. 

So what is the strategy to keep cash flow high or increase it, if you lose money increasing rent every year bc of turnover costs and new leases?
