I would rather buy a cashflow neutral home in a high growth area than a 200/month unit at the same price point in an area that has virtually no growth.For simplicity sake, lets assume a hypothetical 100k home where total expenses is 800/month:If that home is in a small market in the midwest and the rent is 1k/month, then the home cashflows 200/month and assuming no growth, (or limited growth) will generate $2400 per year, or $24,000 over a 10 year holding period, and the home is still worth roughly 100k.Buying a 100k home in a more desirable geographic location might only rent for 800/month (because the home is likely significantly smaller), and thus this home is initially cashflow neutral but with an annual 5% growth rate will easily beat the other home.

The Fed has been very clear that we do not even have neutral interest rates right now.

So someone selling a rental, is being bought by someone who will rent it, so it’s a neutral impact on the supply.

Even if a property is cash-flow neutral, depreciation and interest should put some money in your pocket.

I would get rid of the non neutral things however staging can neutralize them.
