I also got involved with a builder in Florida who has yet to produce the first of three houses they're contracted to build, which was a major hit to my available funds as well, setting me further behind.I also figured if I fell a little behind in saving (18 months instead of 12 months for example), I'd still be making progress.

@Lauren CartmellWhen selling a tenant-occupied property, it’s best to work with an investor-friendly realtor who specializes in investment properties and has access to income-producing buyers.

@Kyle Kline“Investing for equity and not cash flow” doesn’t mean “buy properties that don’t cash flow.”To me, invest for equity not cash flow means that the PRIMARY reason to invest is for equity growth and an increase in net worth and NOT cash flow.I’ve been investing for over 40 years and while cash flow is important, it’s not why invest.A property must be self supporting ie produce enough cash flow to cover debt service, operational expenses including repairs and replacements.
