Quote from @Angel Romero: You'll get plenty of advice on what to buy, where to buy, how to cash out equity, setting up an LLC, and other noise.

My goal is to gain a solid understanding of the process, master deal analysis, and ultimately close my first deal.Right now, I’m focused on learning the basics — from finding motivated sellers to building a strong network of cash buyers.

Some buyers might see this as a bonus, while others may worry about tenant turnover or stigma, so it can affect the price slightly.Sell when the building’s cash flow no longer meets your goals, market conditions are strong, or you’re ready to reinvest into something else.

Purchase price: $81,000 Cash invested: $30,000 I acquired this property at an 11% cap rate, which provides strong immediate cash flow.

I am not exactly sure what my goal is for the long run, but for the time being I'm looking to get a roommate, then after 2 years, to fully rent out my place and hopefully get some cash flow.

Scaling up properties requires cash flow or equity, continuous education, networking, mentorship, patience, and persistence.

It just might be a different strategy involved.Cash flows through refinance or sale or operating cash flow is the same in my book.  

I’ve been scanning the market and come to understand as my first investment I’ll probably have to find an apartment/condo something like that and I typically hear of STRs typically making more cash flow etc.

I have a cash flow heavy, modest appreciation strategy.
