For example, what would the cash flow be like after you renovate and lease out at the new rates?

For me I would not buy a property with zero or negative numbers. 

It’s a new year!

Thanks in advance,Rookie You’re going to struggle to find cash flow anywhere in the dmv, you would really be buying for appreciation only, both for ease and some upside, I’d look at some condos in dc, definitely some risk, but you can pick up a condo at a price you would have paid a decade ago. 

If you buy less or take cash out you will pay tax on that amount. 

I have a new build with Blacktip.

BRRRR method is also a great way to go - good luck!  

Reason: I signed a new job offer at a nonprofit yesterday and having extensive knowledge of the real-estate market in Philly would be very helpful.

Quote from @Christopher Lynch: I recently watched an episode of BiggerPockets where the guest discussed how he started a real estate investment company and buys commercial properties with 0% down.

How long did it take to complete those first three builds?
