If the CF is positive and enough to sustain monthly mortgage payment for a new property, then does paying by all cash make sense? 

Advani underscores the use of modern software solutions for everything from rent collection to maintenance requests, suggesting that technology is not just an option but a necessity for contemporary property management.He also touches on the importance of building a community among tenants, whether through events or shared spaces, to boost retention rates and create a more desirable property.The Future of Construction: Innovation and SustainabilityIn the construction segment of his discourse, Advani delves into how technological advancements and sustainability are becoming increasingly pivotal.

Almost all require the following in some combination to execute successfully on a sustainable basis : (1) CAPITAL (2) KNOWLEDGE (3) EXPERIENCE.  

RDU is a great market for appreciation, my focus is to get close to breakeven, make it sustainable, and ride that wave, eventually cashflow with future refi(s) and or by using value add strategies.

There is simply too much rental inventory to sustain the rental prices we saw a over the last few years.

@Julia Hagen Glad the stories resonated.

Albertville - should be a reasonable cash flow play;  would not go there if appreciation is your goal.Muscle Shoals - no idea on the market there, sorry@Michael Ewers mentioned Hazel Green and Meridianville - they are growing areas, but I'd be VERY cautious with new construction, as I don't see those prices being sustainable there. 

All of their fortune 500 companies seem to have business models that will have trouble sustaining any real growth against new tech.

But business needs to be sustainable, meaning push people in the right direction not put one over on them and get yours and go.

This may be doable with roommates but if I were to move out and rent it to just one tenant, I'm not sure that would be sustainable given current rents for 3/2's I've seen in the area.
