Some cities are going to be better for cash-flow and others will be great for appreciation and cash-flow.

I like Gulf Shores because I am looking for high-appreciation markets that can still generate a minimum 15% cash-on-cash return (CoC).I scrolled through the Deal Finder to review some deals with my set parameters: 4+ bedrooms ✅3+ bathrooms ✅No condos ✅View (sort of) ✅My price range ✅This listing sparks my interest.

I've always viewed real estate as a fantastic way to build wealth and achieve a sense of purpose and freedom through the cash flow it generates.

That said, appreciation is very strong in both towns and there are often a lot of tax advantages that sometimes make it worthwhile to buy even without cash flow.

Don't rush, think it through and make calculated decisions with applied faith!

It wouldn't hurt to do what some people do and have a home inspector go through the property every couple years.. 

With everything so expensive within the east coast how can work cash flow positively?

If you have gone through so many then maybe you are the problem.

Cap rates and cash flow are crucial, with insurance rates potentially higher due to hurricane risk.Good luck!

I’d love to hear what metrics or signs guide your decision—whether it’s ROI, cash flow, or cap rates.
