I like it because it keeps my money working for me in between finding deals, so I don’t have cash sitting on the sidelines getting chewed up by inflation.That being said, if you have equity from day one.

I have 2 properties so far that cash flow. 

You can find tons of cash flowing opportunities here and you get amazing appreciation potential as well.

November has been our only cash flowing month (barely), but we anticpate cash flow from Jan-April '25.

Purchase price: $160,000 Cash invested: $40,000 Sale price: $268,000 I bought my first house in Kalispell Montana as a long term investment and possibly a rental.

Pay cash.  

I've been buying SFH's out of state all cash as long term hold rentals.  

You can still easily find the 1% rule and positive cash flow and there's amazing appreciation potential.

In fact because an IRA kicks off UBIT on leveraged real estate many people opt for private lending until the account has enough to buy real estate in cash if that is their goal. 

Have the co-op take out a loan for 60% of building value, then charge buyers 20% of value in cash for each unit.
