Right now, the best offers around me are for some 1.3-4 million, that only generated around 100k per year gross, so there would be a high chance of not cash flowing, and paying money, especially with a commercial loan (these buildings have more than 4 units).I was thinking that although the rental itself does not generate money, I would be able to deduct the mortgage interest, and depreciation from my personal w2 income and would be net positive.

My original plan was to find a 4 plex in california buy using fha loan, move out after the first year and generate cash flow and appreciation, but after looking at properties it became clear to me that’s not possible with todays market and interest rates.

So the idea of doing this all from afar is a bit daunting, however, I know the most important thing here will be to create a great team and outsource as much as possible.I have set my sights on a couple of different markets being in the Southeast and the Midwest; these markets seem to provide the cash flow I am initially interested in generating to value add to the properties I purchase.

Jay thanks for the tip, it helped in searching and learning about "lead generators" in the fine print in lending and what means.

I see many situations where one generation wants to buy out a prior generation or, more typically, siblings.

With an 8% ROI and an RTP of 12.38, this market is well-positioned for rental income generation.

Both generate passive income streams without you having to clock in at a 9-to-5.🏗️ Building Equity While Others PayWhen your tenant pays rent, they're helping you pay down your mortgage - building your equity.

For example, I see newer investors attempting wholesaling or bird-dogging for other investors to generate additional income to invest.

The value generator in commercial is the lease or use of the building.
