My wife and I started managing more properties for others as word of mouth recommendations started and we started to use the management and arbitrage cash flow to acquire our own properties and fund the BRRRs we were working on.  

A block can transition from appreciating to depreciating within ten houses so you have to learn where it is ebbing and flowing.

IMO it’s hard for me to sell a great cash flowing asset.

As echoed by many, the Midwest, specifically Milwaukee continues to be a strong market for cash flow.  

Prices are through the roof, Insurance cost have skyrocketed, maintenance cost are up a lot, taxes.

Those I know who are successful real estate investors have tried and failed in different areas through the years.

I would have to assume that if they've had it that long, they could absolutely have some really nice cash flow going.

Please feel free to message me if you want to walk through some logistics. 

You can find positive cash flow and the 1% rule here!

You'll have to look at the income and expenses to predict whether your cash flow will improve.
