I'm looking to purchase my first rental property and have been searching for a deal that would generate positive cash flow based on my projections.

I'm also seeing lots of homes for sale that were used as Airbnbs, so I'm wondering if that along with these numbers may indicate it's an overly saturated market, and if these are signs that maybe I should keep searching for a stronger market, or just a property that cash flows given the average annual revenue?

I have been reading the online resources about getting started, searching the market, and even doing tours, but I am hesitant to jump in and buy a house as I have quite a large amount of student debt.

I found this one on realtor.com by doing a search that only showed me properties with asking prices no higher than $150k

Of course, not everybody is that good at or has the time to do Google searches or know how easy it is to use ChatGPT so it might still make sense for you to provide such a guide to your (potential) clients.If you don't want to spend time reinventing the wheel, you have other easy options:a.

There will not be one PM covering all the places you mention in your post, so maybe refine your search a little, and then you can start interviewing.

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

As you may have found in your search, there are lenders that will lend up to 80% of the appraised value on investment properties and don't require an appraisal.Let me know if you'd like me to point you in the right direction.

Is there something like off-market commercial deals where I can search them (like Investorlift or New Western for residential) ?
