It began when I bought a Cabin just outside of Gatlinburg and started using it as a V/R though Airbnb.

What you can do to make sure you're testing all the layers of paint is to cut a V-shaped notch through the paint down to the bare wood on a part of the exterior. 

I stay south of Ralph Av and west of I-65 and north of I-265.

This is generally the area which is bordered to the north by 295, the east by Ramsey St, to the west by 210, and BUS 401 to the south. 210 and Ramsey sort of form a “V” shape to the south and Country Club Dr. cuts through the middle (W to E).I have recently found several homes in this area which meet my criteria but they move quickly and I have not been able to get one of them as of yet.

Looking at this property in Riverside and here is my analysis. 8377 Cypress Av Riverside 92503Lets say I purchase 400,000 The actual rent on it right now is: 550 + 1100 + 750 = 2400Expenses (monthly)Repairs: 50Taxes 366Insurance: 100CapEX: 100Total Expenses: 616Loan20% down, 320000 loan30years @ 4.3% Mortgage: 1139Cashflow: 2400 - 1139 - 616 = 200 monthly Cashflow ROI: 2.61%Just looking for some feedback on this calculation, it looks like it isn't that great of a deal since ROI is only 2.6% but it does cashflow, so it can't be too bad. 

Have a multi family in Clarksville being build and a V/R cabin.

At the same time not too low that I am totally screwed if that is the minimum that gets bid.Here is the rental listing:https://www.zillow.com/homes/for_rent/30-Carter-Av...Here is the BP listing:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/517/topics/544758-cash-flowing-turnkey-3-15-sf-in-dayton-ohioIts a fresh building and new tenants agreeing on three year lease at $820, plus, plus.

Scenario A vs holding a little cash for the opportunities that come with a downturn are the same...except the 8% return generated prior to the crash. 

So what I thought at a macro-level wasn’t the reality at a micro-level.If you run the same exercise you’ll be able to project investment returns in you’re “A” vs.
