After 45 + years as a real estate investor, broker, lender, fund manager and syndicator, I’ve become aware that the “dream” of many investors and investor “hopefuls” is to be able to generate enough cash flow to live off their real estate holdings and accumulate enough wealth to make “work” optional.

A 20% down payment will allow you to have a positive cash flow, even using conservative projections and a property management company.

I am glad you highlighted the management piece as this is a crucial part of buying in another market.Excited that you are stabilized and are generating cash flow on that deal. 

Was looking to save where possible in this market but the method I proposed is not worth the consequences. looks like 20% down it is!

Purchase price: $375,000 Cash invested: $87,000 STR What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

We have invested in mobile home and multi-family syndications, and we want to diversify into a different segment with good cash flow and some growth opportunities.

You can find great deals that still allow for solid cash flow.

I dont know the area well enough yet so looking for any insight whether or not you can get a little cash flow and appreciation together.

Just this month, I’ve gotten under contract for my clients for multiple 20%+ cash on cash rental properties so there’s definitely tons of opportunity here.

I assume you would have to pay cash, because you have to spend all cash received to avoid taxes.
