(Not just cash at closing but sales price minus selling costs, minus purchase price, minus improvements.)

I am mostly interested in appreciation/pay out at the end rather than cash flow each quarter.

Because of this, most buyers come with cash or use short term seller financing.

Do you prioritize equity growth or cash flow in your investments?

I have a property I’m looking at in Missouri that’s about 1,400sqft, and not sure the difference between a Cash and a Novation offer. 

So I'd be pulling equity at 9% and only get paid 5% if I used the HELOC and kept the cash in my high yield account. 

The Numbers:Cash Flow Analysis: Investors typically look for properties that will generate positive cash flow—meaning the income from rent covers the property’s expenses (mortgage, taxes, maintenance, etc.) and then some.

Looking my insurance policy it mentions that I can opt for settlement under Actual Cash Value vs Replacement Cost.

How much cash have you put into the deal so far?
