From my experience, one key factor here is to run a thorough cash-flow analysis.. it’s not just about the mortgage payment, but also about unexpected exepnses like repairs and long-term capital improvements.If you do decide to roll that equity into a multi-family, you’ll want to be clear on your target returns.. that way you can quickly spot a deal that’s actually profitable.

At this stage, the main thing we need is for me to get back into the workforce and get some money coming in, in order to achieve that dream.With that in mind, my immediate goal is to gain employment in the field of property management, as opposed to wasting my time working in another field that is not associated with real estate.

For a quick analysis, I get as close to the 1% price to rent ratio rule for cash flow in Indiana when I was doing my search and narrowing down properties.
