I created the graphic below to illustrate the effect inflation has on (inflation adjusted) cash flow.

Make your journey about the s umbers first and you will enjoy it much more than the cute bungalow down the street that isn’t buying your next property.

I threw this graphic together to help describe why investors are choosing to invest in specific markets.

SFH1 - new 350k spacious 2/2.5 in a small community walkable to a cute country town near a lake.

If you find a good deal you should buy it with a FHA loan just don't get too cute about it and you will be just fine.

Bought another cute condo in the DT area when the RE Market started going downhill in the fall of 2006...we bought it for $22K less than they had it listed for in the spring of 2006. 

It's the northeast part of LA and is a super cute, growing area.

@Darrel Henegar Instead of a duplex why not a cute ADU cottage?

After assuring everyone I was sure this was a good one and signing closing docs, I immediately sold two of the sheds on FB marketplace (for just under $1k), rented the shipping container for storage use ($200/mo), and turned the largest unit into a cute casita which currently rents on Airbnb for $2,000+/month (more than covering my entire mortgage).I got a lot of weird looks when I started this project, but now that it’s done I get endless compliments and questions asking how I built a shed into a tiny house that was featured on Apartment Therapy.I love dreaming of wild ideas to maximize and monetize underused space, to make it beautiful and profitable.

If you made them like super cute on the inside.
