In high-appreciation markets (e.g., CA), lower cash flow may be acceptable.

@Micah Huffman unless you are going to commit to learning some basics about being a landlord AND are willing to commit at least 2-4 hours each month managing a Property Management Company - it's probably best you sell.Otherwise, it's highly likely you could lose more due to bad tenants and management.

I think it is fair to say that there is somewhat of a tradeoff between markets that provide positive cash flow on day one and relatively high appreciation-based markets.

Hello Everyone,I am currently in the market for a knowledgeable and proactive real estate agent in Florida to assist with sourcing high-potential Fix-and-Flip opportunities.

If what we are feeling is accurate, the January data should show substantial increase in buyer demand.Jan 1, 2020 to Jan 1, 2025 InventoryWhile interest rates remain high, the demand from buyers is still strong.

Let brokerage grow, tenants pay down mortgage, and save up for another property organically (Cons - slow growth, waisting equity// Pros - low risk)2) Cash out the $300k brokerage account, pay off the townhouse, start cash-flowing $2,400/mo, and save up for new investment or 1031 into multi family(Cons - cap gains tax on cash out, high Oregon income tax penalty, hard to find deals being $2,400 monthly cash flow) // Pros- cash flow, increased leverage into large investment)3) Cash out $300k brokerage and put into separate Multi Fam property, hoping for $2,400/mo+ cash flow, keep townhouse rented as is (Cons - cap gains tax on cash out, not utilizing equity PROs - increase portfolio value, higher upside with value add or rent increase on new units?)

Quote from @Cathy Li: It's a white label software built on go high level.

In terms of using BP - I highly recommend setting up some "keywords" in your settings so that you can get alerted to discussions that talk about "CPA" "Bookkeeper" or "Bookkeeping" and related terms!

Here are a few high level thoughts for you as a beginner:-Don't lend in second position-Don't do deals with new investors-Don't experiment with new strategies, even with experiences investors- ie, don't jump in to a first development project with someone just because they've flipped 20 houses. 

The market is competitive, so I focused on being the best—from high-quality furnishings to top-tier management.
