(both loans assume 15yr fixed) That gives a positive cash flow of 350/mo. much better. 

In this transaction, the value added wasn’t through physical renovations but rather through quick market positioning and strategic timing.

Though we didn’t renovate, our strong market positioning, negotiation skills, and understanding of buyer demand allowed us to flip the property at double the purchase price within one day.

If you're buying a place turnkey you're unlikely to be able cash flow positive or even break even, especially if you're paying a manager (although management fees are the lowest in the country here due to all of the competition). 

Building a strong financial foundation involves aiming for a credit score of 700+, educating yourself, building relationships with agents, lenders, and property managers, and analyzing properties with positive cash flow.

This creates a negative initial position.

Build a real estate network, evaluate potential properties, and use the 50% rule to ensure they cover your mortgage and leave positive cash flow.Good luck!
