You don't want to cash-out refi and then be sitting on cash costing you 7% while you search for a deal.

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

For example, say it were a 2bd/1ba property, I would just list it for 1 nurse to stay and I would hit my cash flow goal.

Even if the rental has a decent cash flow with additional flood insurance, we're still not sure we want to take on that risk as we are out-of-state investors (planning to move back to KY in the future, but not now) and we don't like that it will potentially bring down the perceived value when we try to sell it in the future.The seller has never lived there and has not provided any information on if it has flooded before or not. 

OR feel free to PM and we can talk. 

Purchase price: $88,000 Cash invested: $25,000 Sale price: $179,900 I got this deal from an agent who was initially going to list it publicly but thought of me first.

My ultimate goal is to build a portfolio of cash-flowing properties to achieve financial freedom.I’m currently seeking mentors who can guide me through this journey and help me avoid common pitfalls.

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. 

Great job turning your condo into a cash flowing asset! 

Cash buyers & investors are also skiddish due to the increase in crime as well as DC’s crackdown on AirBNB’s and tenant/friendly TOPA policies.
