Do you prioritize equity growth or cash flow in your investments?

An audit could be triggered by a number of factors that don't line up when run through the IRS's system, and create an exception.

You need to think through the consequences of this if that's the case. 

The bummer is that my insurance premiums will go through the roof for a while -- If I can get a policy.

*Have a USP right of the bat to convert leads*Have a huge/constant flow of leads from investors, sellers, partners, etc.If I was doing it for houses, I'd do the same thing, just work on the leads.

After 45 + years as a real estate investor, broker, lender, fund manager and syndicator, I’ve become aware that the “dream” of many investors and investor “hopefuls” is to be able to generate enough cash flow to live off their real estate holdings and accumulate enough wealth to make “work” optional.

Need to understand customer traffic flow, neighbors, street access.Since you already own a location and know the market. 

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.

Apologize in advance if this has been outlined before, but I read on different posts you can use hard money loans through Auction.com.

I've narrowed down the best return for my money in this market to a 2 bed/2 bath (with top tier amenities) - about 500 total 2/2 listings.I'm finding myself a bit stuck when analyzing why certain properties are making so much higher than the average listings when they seem to have very similar locations, amenities, style, flow of home, beds/# of people they sleep, reviews, number of reviews, etc.
