Hey Bigger Pockets Community,As real estate investors, we focus on building wealth, creating passive income, and securing financial freedom.

I don’t know if I should invest in the Jersey market and put maybe 20-50% down on something, make less cash flow and make more appreciation, or every two years or so maybe buy something fully cash (my own $) in the Midwest let’s say 5-10 units and make more cash flow with no debt as with the income I make I can just save and buy more, don’t necessarily need to leverage in some markets.

The income requirement was $6000.

It's going to be tough to buy a property without steady W2 income.  8k is a good start, but you might need to keep saving.  

Previously I'd always used Stessa, which has a great Net Cash Flow statement view, breaking down the usual income/expenses, but also includes a section for Interest/Principal, and another section for CapEx. 

Do you sell any bank foreclosures in Comal or Guadalupe county Texas?

My goal is to have passive income!

For quick math I have a range of each between: 700/yr to 3% of gross income

Also, Pool amenites such as pool basketball, Four square, Giant Jenga etc. help guests imagine themselves having a Florida experience with their own pool on vacation.In short, in a saturated market find a way to make your home exceptional, and you can generate decent income while still enjoying the home with your family.
