Anywhere near Evens has gotten very expensive, so cash flow will be tougher.

My ultimate goal is to build a portfolio of cash-flowing properties to achieve financial freedom.I’m currently seeking mentors who can guide me through this journey and help me avoid common pitfalls.

Cash flow = $400 How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Hi there, if you're open to holding onto the property, converting it into an Airbnb or short-term rental could significantly increase your cash flow, especially with the current demand for rental properties.

Additionally, the fact you might be negative cash flow in Texas will give you more flexibility by renting in Portland.  

If you’ve yet to build up substantial credit in the U.S. you can apply for foreign national specific loans that don’t take credit history into consideration when qualifying as in some circumstances you can get better rates and terms applying as a FN when your U.S. based credit history is in it’s infancy.

Appreciation will drive your returns, not cash flow.

Quote from @Duarte Marques: Hey BP community, I'm new to real estate investing and have been studying (reading books, watching webinars, constructing excel cash flow models,...) close to a year.

Cash flow and transform the neighborhood.
