That's why I tell a lot of my clients that it's a perfect time to invest right now when you can still find the 1% rule and positive cash flow especially in properties here that are still 120-180k in purchase price.

Our aim is to maximize appreciation and rent growth while still cash flowing enough to break even after all expenses in the short term.

Definitely a chunk of change I don't want to pay, but having my cash back out to do another deal might be worth it...

Earning potential and cash flow seems like it would be easier to obtain if the numbers are right.
