This thread is very informative and helpful.

I would have thought as a mod, you'd have access to that information. ?

As it turns out, that information was not accurate.

There are two types of return from a rental propertyCash Flow & Appreciation.I normally also aim for a minimum of 8% return between Cash-Flow and Appreciation.Appreication, nationally, is around 2% to 3% annually.Therefore, your goal is to get the cash-flow to be about 5% to 6%.The issue is interest rates being very high, you would therefore, need to buy at a pricepoint where the numbers still make sense.You can always put down more of a downpayment to cash flow, but that will impact your cash on cash return calculations.Best of luck!

I’d love to hear your thoughts and advice on this Team,more information here....Property Location: South FloridaRent 1 unit $1500Rent 2 unit $1200ARV: $500kPurchase price $380-385k. 

Two things I remember that probably don't happen today: -First property was a no-doc loan, technically low doc because you still had to provide information but with 30%+ down pretty much anything you wanted was yours.

There are many ways to buy cheap elsewhere but still lose your shirt. 

Need a little more information to throw out a few ideas. 

@Melissa Sejour a good property manager will give you a lot of information that you care about.

You're better off focusing on specific markets, specific neighborhoods, analyzing numbers, and building an ideal buy [box].
