The one guy I spoke with said they make money only when they sell to potential investors and they only sell new construction homes that are usually pre-leased to buyers (currently they are building in Texas state and Missouri State).

I have some brand new homes in Phoenix that cash flow with 25% down.

I also keep a fair amount if cash (10%).

Purchase price: $230,000 Cash invested: $200,000Two homes on half an acre.

Since the property has vacancies, a buyer might discount for lease-up risk, so that’s something to factor in.I owned a multi-use property in IL that is definitely different than what you're looking at.

Hey BiggerPockets Community,I’ve been investing in co-living real estate since 2020, and over the years, I’ve met countless investors who get their first deal (or maybe their second)… and then stop.They don’t stop because they want to—they stop because they hit a wall.Somewhere between Property #1 and Property #3, investors often find themselves stuck, unable to scale the way they originally envisioned.

There are some people that get lucky and earn cash quickly, but they generally hide the fact that it was pure luck or how much work was involved.

Renovating a duplex can boost cash flow and long-term wealth.

Buy your next property with all cash, fix it up with cash, and then do a cash-out refinance afterward.

@Maryann Nichols You will not find any properties on BP to flip.
