Couple hundred bucks a door monthly cash flow, solid ROI, and yes plenty of appreciation.I personally make well over $100k/yr cash flow from 21 properties here.

Quote from @Brad Kremer: Hi everyone,I own a cash-flowing duplex in Austin, TX, that I bought 8 years ago when rates were considerably lower than they are today.

Purchase price: $230,000 Cash invested: $200,000Two homes on half an acre.

With retirement in five years, your focus should be on balancing cash flow, risk, and tax efficiency.

This does not align with buying most buildings in cash.Once you progress in your investing efforts you may come across more UHNW individuals, family offices and institutions who would take the lower return for limiting risk (all cash deal).

Including the Statement of Cash Flows.  

Purchase price: $645,000 Cash invested: $516,000 80% cash purchase.2,437 sq ft Duplex, with 3b 2b for the front unit (1331), 4b 2b for the back unit (1333).   

where can we find places-websites to analyze areas that will provide positive cash flow?

Are you cash flowing the property?

As the cash flow is obviously much worse than you can earn in the bank with a basic CD.
