If the property needs a cash infusion (renovations/HVAC/roof...) in a couple years, do you have the income to support putting it into the investment?

The capital infusion of city money was the catalyst for the gentrification of College Park.

The house I purchased needed a little cash infusion, but now operates well.

You can learn an encyclopedia's-worth of information, but none of the education quite prepares you for the actual first purchase.Comparing BRRR to Flipping, I gravitate toward buy-and-hold investing because I want tenants paying off mortgages for me, doubling the speed of growing my wealth, however it is likely my next deal is going to be a flip, because I need the "quick" infusion of cold, hard cash.If you can financially swing a BRRR, consider the longterm benefits: it's essentially a flip that you sell to yourself.1.

Pre-tax.Example: (Cash flow= NOI $60,000 less debt payment $50,000=  $10,000) / (Original cash investment (example:$100,000 infusion with a $900,000 loan))= 10%.Note:  Net "Operating" income does not include depreciation.Cap Rate:Formula- Net Operating Income divided by current market valueExample- using the example above:  NOI $60,000 divided by $1,000,000=  6%.Note:  NOI does not include depreciation and does not exclude debt payments.Whatever I am about to say, the above two metrics are the best to use, since they are common metrics and definitions used in the Real Estate world.We use the "comparison" of Pay back in years versus Loan Amortization period.Our target for Pay back is 8 to 12 years. 

Considering the current and expected Fed policies to keep interest rates at 0% and continue massive infusions of capital into the economy over the next several years, it creates very little incentive to overpay debt at this time because of the near certainty of higher inflation.

Workforce housing is most likely going to be hit the hardest when the government stops the infusion of capital.

And even with that large cash infusion, I still was apparently short and they increased my monthly payment by $17.that just seems like mismanagement to me, But maybe I'm just being paranoid?

The property may be free and clear or have negative equity requiring cash infusion to pay off the loans.
