The substantial cash need for large down payment or all cash that most others don't have .

BUYER BEWARE!!!

We have some cash on hand, but not sure the route we should go when it comes to financing.

I was looking to put 80k cash into then refi afterwards and possibly getting 130k. 130k on mortgage would be close to $800 only leaving $200 in cash flow each month. 

Purchase price: $252,000 Cash invested: $63,600First buy and hold.

So, we now find most areas where the cost of PM leaves but the general real estate passive investment ROI for the investor hiring property management.  

You can still achieve it, but finding deals that actually pencil out on all criteria (low enough purchase price, low enough renovation cost, cash flows on the backend, all cash out at refinance) is pretty hard.

But if you are an OOS rental simply for the cash flow, you will likely be disappointed.

.- Space Coast Beaches - Condos - Buyer's market- Space Coast Beaches - SFHs - Neutral market- Viera / Suntree < $800k - SFHs - Seller's marketI thought this was interesting how drastic the difference can be within the same geographic area. 

- The market is in a little bit of a lull right now (buyers market), its a great time to buy, but slower time to sell (my primary business is flipping houses) I can supplement my flipping business by providing project management services/consulting, helping investors find discounted properties, etc. etc.
