Quote from @Dan Shallcross: Your PM should know the answer and be leading the way aggressively.

After 45 + years as a real estate investor, broker, lender, fund manager and syndicator, I’ve become aware that the “dream” of many investors and investor “hopefuls” is to be able to generate enough cash flow to live off their real estate holdings and accumulate enough wealth to make “work” optional.

It gives you access to funds at a relatively low interest rate, and you can repay it as the rental generates income.

Knowing what you are capable of and/or having proper resources can lead to great deals in any market.   

However, there are still plenty of tax benefits when it comes the income you generate from your multi-family property that you can deduct from. 

Napoleon Hill's masterpiece takes a dive into the power of the mind and the principles that lead to success.

However, they approach financial health from different angles.The 50% Rule is a quick estimate that suggests operating expenses (excluding mortgage principal and interest) will roughly equal 50% of the property's gross income.The DSCR is a more precise calculation (Net Operating Income / Total Debt Service) that determines if a property generates enough income to cover its debt obligations.Deal example:- Class C middle class neighborhood- 4bd / 2ba single family house- ARV: 190k- Purchase: 105k- Rehab: 35k- Market rent: $1,400-1,525- Section 8: $1,475- Property manager: 10%- Taxes: 125 month- Insurance $1250 yr- HOA: $55 month- purchased and rehabbed with all cash.

However, that will likely lead to increased turnover and increased vacancy time in between tenants.

They market and sell the lead to an end user. 

You can learn to do this independently or get a rockstar REALTOR to lead the way.
