Insurance companies and car dealerships and plenty of other consumer businesses close by.

Growth can kill a business just as quickly as poor cash flow. 

I am learning in the real estate business as well but in the Kentucky/Tennessee Market!

Of these professional wholesalers, nearly all of them will be well capitalized professional real estate investors or large businesses doing hundreds of deals annually with many years in and around every part of the real estate investment journey.

@Terri AbsherNot familiar with them but here is a prior post on BP about themhttps://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/311/topics/1006736-has-anyone-done-business-with-flipos

This is a business.

PM me if you want the contact (they deserve some business for their great support, but if I do not close I have no need for the insurance).Good luck Thanks Dan,  where in CA is that property at very good price for what your describing !!!

If you want cash flow, start or buy a business.

When picking a market, I would look for things like population and job growth, rental demand, and economic diversity—basically, is the area attracting people and businesses?

I have a friend who uses this to summarize legal proceedings for his business.
