Purchase price: $540,000 Cash invested: $108,000 Sale price: $540,000 My client bought a condo in Lincoln park.

I recently worked on an off-market deal here that turned into a great BRRRR success, proving how the right team and strategy can create equity and cash flow, even from a distance.If you ever need help analyzing deals or navigating the OKC market, I’d love to connect and assist however I can.

The math behind Real Estate is not that complicated, Revenue - expenses and debt service = cash flow. 

The investor has to be gaining cash flow or equity to make it worth it.

Hope is a bad strategy.The only on market strategy that I think can work is paying cash/line of credit/hard money for a property that does not qualify for conventional financing.

The school is very good, but middle is not so much.I have some cash to invest, but can't decide what route to take.

Run cash flow numbers.  

I plan on getting a property every year until I retire if I can find a good deal that cash flows positively.I have a very close friend whose stationed in Columbus GA whose a real estate investor and owns rentals there!

I think an investor can find a nice property there that will cash flow and potentially appreciate.My issue is that the OP mentions that she disqualified Baltimore because the city had a declining population but was still considering Cleveland and Toledo.From my brief research Cincinnati and Columbus both have had population increases.

Most lenders won't require an application fee and should be able to clearly lay out their financing costs, cash to close, and projected profitability for you.I hope this helps.
