@Ketch BaysStarting small in a cash-flowing market is a smart way to gain experience and build confidence without overextending yourself financially.

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... 

Flat Fee MLS Brokers for sellers have been around for a long time, but Flat Fee Broker/Agents for buyers with a cash credit/rebate of the buyer agent commission are quite new and just starting to get some market share.

Then you have to buy a 1031 worth $350k or more (your portion of the sold property.) the fact that you only got $150k in “cash” means nothing.

It's not right for every deal, but for cash deals in my area it's workedfor me.

Personally I like to build with cash to avoid the extra expenses, so I dont actually finance anything until its done and I have decided to hold it.

I genuinely want to learn.

Rents have been pretty close to what the housing authorities advertise, sometimes even a bit higher.Fort Wayne’s a solid spot with low taxes and good cash flow—definitely worth looking into.

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