Hello Zachary,  You are correct in looking at the Mid-West for cash flow. 

@Matt Tortora For cash flow? 

When does the cash flow start? 

You can get between a 12% and 15% cash on cash return each year pretty passively.

That creates a really nice price / rent ratio which is favorable for investors looking for cash flow.

Purchase price: $645,000 Cash invested: $516,000 80% cash purchase.2,437 sq ft Duplex, with 3b 2b for the front unit (1331), 4b 2b for the back unit (1333).   

Quote from @Isadore Nelson: Cash-for-keys, unless you're offering heavy sums does not happen in one afternoon. 

However, co-living allows you to acquire properties with as little as 0%-5% down, drastically reducing the amount of cash required.Instead of needing $100K+ to buy a rental, a co-living strategy lets you start with a fraction of the cost while achieving higher returns.3.

I'm living off of cash reserves and burning through it - there is a well dry date looming on the horizon.

While I’ve considered cash-out refinancing or HELOCs, the high rates make these options less appealing.I’m debating between using cash to acquire more SFRs or diversifying into mixed-use retail properties.
