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. 

Purchase price: $250,000 Cash invested: $75,000 7 bedroom Padsplit property at 93% occupancy What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

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

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. 

Our portfolio currently cash flows, but cash flow isn’t our top priority right now since we plan to use this portfolio to supplement our retirement in 12 years when I leave the Army.My biggest challenge is committing to an out-of-state market.

Cincinnati and Dayton are great markets for both cash flow and long-term appreciation.

My underwriting would have this large negative cash flow for 7 years.I would do a thorough underwriting but want to show using quick math the issue so I will use the 50% rule.  

I currently live in it as my primary residence but had plans to eventually rent it out and then cash out refi once I reach 20% equity in the property.

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