This coming weekend is opening weekend for Pearland Girls Softball, an I cant miss that.

Now, in the case of buying a triplex or fourplex in a cheaper market, we are thinking a turnkey property and saw some options that would give us about $450-$600/month positive cashflow.On paper, it seems the smart option is to buy outside of state and get that cash flow going but there's one important thing, we live in a 1 bedroom apt with a 21-month old girl, which means maybe we have 1 more year at our current place and we'll definitely have to move to a 2-bd place and rent will increase by $500-$1000. at least, so then, there's not so much difference anymore.I'd love to know your thoughts.Thank you in advance!

The girl's 28.

Hi @Joel Arndt and @Frankie Woods, let me ponder it a bit - I relied heavily on @Ming Lim and the Volition Properties team as I was a condo owner and total noob.They have my numbers in a mini case study that maybe we can tidy up and share - as Ming said, there are only certain neighbourhoods where this makes sense.

Good job for your age to ponder such questions!

@James Monaghan have you run this girl through the BiggerPockets calculator?

I happen to find out the owner of the apartment complex here in socal, of a girl whom I used to date.

You got this girl!

I’m Chris and I’ve pondered that question quite a bit.

I'll ponder on these items.
