I’m considering doing a cash-out refinance, not sure what the best options is , to use the rental property or the rehab property.

Today poor means negative cash flow.  

I did my research and requote what would benefit both me and the investor, below is the Finalized CORRECT format of the proposal:Listed price on the property: 459,900MAXIMUM amout of money down on the property: $380,000Method of Payment: CASH OFFER from Investor.

The modest cash flow could be reinvested, eventually allowing me to build a portfolio of income-generating properties.I recognize your point about needing $2.5M–$3M in cash to consistently replace a six-figure income.

I'm going to exclude my personal residence from this because I don't view this as an investment, I need a place to live.Excluding my primary residence my current breakdown is 47% real estate 53% stocks/cash. 

Sadly, it seems that cash flow on long term rentals with 20% down just does not exist in most desirable locations.

Purchase price: $2,000 Cash invested: $60,000 Sale price: $91,000 Bought this one from WCLB with the intention to fix it and sell on market to homeowner.

Before jumping into the condo, I’d take a closer look at whether the $300/month cash flow is worth it compared to other options, like a small multi-family property or a property in a higher-yield market.

There isn't enough cash flow in these deals to pay the mortgage, monthly expenses and the HELOC that I'm trying to leverage against.

I get the distinct impression that these folks genuinely think that this rather mundane arbitrage program, coupled with forced savings, and placed into a very high cost insurance product wrapper earns 20% ROI when in actuality they’re looking at about 1/3 of that.
