I'm not far from you in Virginia Beach , Virginia  feel free to reach out ! 

Purchase price: $68,000 Cash invested: $70,000 Sale price: $195,000 I purchased a long-term rental property from the MLS that had multiple contractor issues and significant delays.

For example, the estimated cash flow RTR shows is usually higher than what I calculate.How about the initial investment?

It is hard to pin down specifically, but that seems to have been a factor in a few of the ARV-Appraisals that I've seen and has impacted the refinancing process.Otherwise, it has been a great market for my clients, great cash flows and repeatability which has really helped as they have scaled.

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.

@Sonu Sundar - I evaluated Dubai real estate investment last year, as the cash flow seemed reasonable, and the appreciation potential looks significant.

Feel free to reach out if you would like to connect, we have several STR in the area.

The right market for you depends on whether you prioritize cash flow (Augusta, Columbia) or long-term appreciation (Greenville, Huntsville).

Since you want to aggressively invest in the near future, you will need cash and the 30 year option is the right one for you.

Easy Street is a good option BUT you need CASH in liquid checking/savings for down payment of 20% and BIG chunk 2-3 times loan amount to buy out of a prepayment penalty.
