Because if you need to live off the cash flow what you're really looking for is a business. 

Hey all,I have been listening to Bigger Pockets content for maybe 4 years and finally have removed myself from some side hustles, have the capital, and grew the...brains to start real estate investing.QUICK BIO:I am b...

I flipped and did some buy and hold when I lived in Florida.   

Hello my name is Ernest KAKEU, I live in Midland.

Constructed in 1910, this property features a total of 2,793 square feet of living space.

Quote from @Ven Bud: After hearing to lot of bp episodes on negative cash flow, I have a question.I am currently living in my primary residence and planning to purchase an investment property, and obviously it is going to be a negative cashflow (bay area), but I am of the opinion that as long as the rent on the investment property is atleast going to be greater than my current primary residence mortgage it can still considered as positive cash flow investment.The investment property is going to be in a much better location (for office commute, bay area proximity) than my primary residence.

I live in a small town in eastern Arizona, about 7000 people, and we have a pretty serious shortage of rental properties.

Also something to note, I live in the North Fort Worth area and be aware that there is some school district drama brewing in Keller ISD that covers much of 76244 and 76248.

Mega TV in the living area and open concept.
