Those 7 years were cash positive, but we just weren't making enough cash flow to make it worth the trouble. 

Once your property is cash flow positive then you have tenants buying your property for you.  

As an investor in a market where cash flow does not come often and appreciation is a bigger play, I understand your mindset. 

I assume you would have to pay cash, because you have to spend all cash received to avoid taxes.

I’m specifically asking about eligibility for the higher return rate offered to Stessa Pro members when using Stessa Cash Management.

That beaing said you should focus on buying a 2-4 unit Multifamily the more doors the more cash flow. 

If you can come up with an extra 1.5% and finance with a conventional loan you have none of those downsides, a lower monthly payment and PMI only until you hit 20% equity

These are typically interest only and require a payment of 1-4 points up front depending on your area and the PML.

Evict the tenant for non payment of rent.

Wondering if you have advice on me just being the bank, where I purchase a house and structure a rent to own with him and have him build up a 30% cash down payment and some equity and then me sell the house to him at a locked in price.
