Are you looking for cash flow/appreciation/a little of both?

Purchase price: $225,000 Cash invested: $40,000 Sale price: $375,000 Bought a large 4 bedroom pool home and flipped

This will be negative cash flow if using sustained maintenance /cap ex.

Do you have cash reserves for capital expenses and improvements? 

Seller won’t budge on price and it will be tight for cash flow.

Mostly due to the fact my spouse and I agreed on her to have zero involvment in any sort of RE investing (and its our home) I think once you have a good 6-12 months of reserve cash (operating expenses for your own life saved as a back up incase things go bad) save enough liquidity to get the ball rolling on your first invesment.
