The ideal home price for you will depend on: 1) downpayment size 2) risk appetite, 3) preference for more cash flow or appreciation.Given our price points, our investors need to have 35-45K to start, on average.The typical cash-on-cash return on our properties net of loan payments, insurance, taxes, and property management fees is 6-8%.Ultimately, you can obtain financing from any lender, although we have partner lenders that can provide very competitive rates.

There is opportunity here for great cash-on-cash returns because we have local hard money lenders that provide 100% purchase & rehab loans for doing the BRRRR method, which ultimately decrease the amount in the deal.

Many who want to scale  fail to take this into consideration,  take on too many projects at once, have no capital to advance the construction and ultimately get stuck in mud unable to advance any of their projects.

It's ultimately up to you.
