There’s a big difference between an area that attracts stable tenants and one where you’ll be chasing rent every month.Personally, I’ve built a 12-door portfolio here, and it’s been a mix of cash flow and appreciation.

Diversifying geographically can also reduce risk and increase long-term returns.For example, there are several markets across the U.S. that are ideal for new investors because they offer affordable entry points, reliable cash flow, and strong economic fundamentals.

They want cash flow today putting 3.5% down.

But weigh the costs of insurance and taxes against the cash flow and make your decision accordingly.

Each one offers its own set of opportunities for appreciation and cash flow.

Mostly people with minimal RE experience are adding a single ADU and they often make that choice based on cash flow without taking into account the negative equity position.  

An older investor should focus on cash flow because time is no longer on their side.

ThxSachinHi Sachin, if you're looking for the best investment opportunities in terms of positive cash flow, they're not going to come from new builds.

You are looking at this through the lense of cash flow, don't forget you are also paying down the mortgage and might see some appreciation, so equity growth might be more than cash flow.

If you could furnish the rooms, I'd say that is best bet for cash flow.
