I work with a turnkey provider in Little Rock, and they are offering a 5.99% on all of their properties, even the new construction.

Even the nicer homes don't rent for over $2,750 a month there.

Even as a Foregin National you can still take out up to 75% Cash out depending on your citizenship. 

That's even more so now that prices are higher.

Since the payment was deposited into your account on 1/6/2025, it would typically be considered income for 2025, even though the tenant paid it on 12/31/2024.However, if you use cash-basis accounting (which most landlords do), the key factor is when you physically receive the money, not when it was sent or owed.

LOL people is funny when many of them invest without even opening an excel sheet. 

When I do it at 20% down, I can only find negative cashflow, so I could be looking in the wrong spot, or I need to put more down, or I am missing something all together.I have read that making a 8% return or higher is what to look for, and I can find break even.

It's sad people lie, and it is even worse when it is a fellow veteran.

Even with buying down the rate, I would not expect to get better than low 6's in the best of scenarios.

She walked away with $1,500 in hand, and we salvaged the deal, netting $8,500 in the process.That deal reinforced two crucial lessons: first, title issues can create unexpected hurdles, even in straightforward transactions.
