Quote from @Dylan Webb: Hello, here's my situation:My wife and I own several properties separately.2 of the single family homes combined we have conservatively $150,000 in equity ($90,000, $60,000) I want to use one of these as collateral for a small loan of $30,000 to put down on a high cash flowing property OR have a lender finance the whole venture at a purchase price of $160,000.

I don't currently have any investment properties, but will likely work with a turn-key property managment in the Memphis/Little Rock area.My goal is to build a good cash-flow portfolio to ease into retirement. 

I'm more interested in an ABB type deal but will work with what cash flows.

Your net worth and cash flow goes up exponentially when you tap into your equity to scale up and buy more and more cash flowing properties.

The reason is the rent-to-price ratio is good so you can cash flow, and most of the West side doesn’t have a Point of sale inspection which is really annoying.

I am definitely conservative and plan to keep my job until the REI cash flow is proven for income.

It's an amazing market to be in because you can still find the 1% rule and positive cash flow while getting amazing appreciation potential.

If you're open to expanding your search, I also recommend checking Columbus OH - lots of deals that still bring positive cash flow and great appreciation potential.

It’s a low-risk entry into real estate with built-in cash flow potential.

The amount of cash flow on a home will of course be contingent on the down payment.
