Bought a few places that cash flowed in Kentucky, then came back to Denver later when I had more creative options to get a primary and make it affordable.

Long term buy and holds are typically more suited as a principal investment strategy and perhaps a Joint Venture. 

An 1800 sqft home could be a great option again, especially if it’s in a desirable area with good schools.

Fairly typical is 1.75 pts. for a same day back-to-back transaction. 

MTR seems to be a viable option for our situation.

A descent cash flow from a typical property in today's market is probably $300/month.  

Hi Jeff, I'm happy to connect and answer any questions regarding financing and loan options.

However, my area of CT has minimal options for multi-family homes.
