Purchase price: $155,000 Cash invested: $60,078 Sale price: $275,000 Fix & Flip property in great neighborhood in Saraland, AL.

Duplexes cash flow better, have less risk, AND EASIER TO MANAGE compared to a SFH.  

I have the ability to put 25% down or more to increase cash flow.

Any laws against repaying the loan in stocks instead of actual cash?

I'm making a healthy downpayment cash by doing a cash out refinance on three of my established properties that I know can cover the debt service handily.

I plan on renting a unit and probably getting a roommate or two in my unit to maximize cash flow early on.

If maintaining cash flow is your primary objective, you might want to explore other options.

Hi KyleThe way most real estate for sale is priced these days there’s little to no cash flow after debt service with 25% down - borrowing a down payment would put the investor in a negative monthly position. 

As you can see by the attached photo I am tracking current cash flow as well as what my cash flow would be if my properties were fully paid off. 

@Kevin Hintz It's property dependent, obviously, but last year, I sold one a street back from the beach that they're cash flowing.
