Hi BiggerPockets Community,My name is Yael Doron, and my husband, Ido, and I are real estate investors based in Israel.

I’m part of the Rob Lawrence Team, an investor-focused real estate team based in South Eastern PA.

My feedback based on what I would do is hold the house. 

Then based on purchase price and escrow I back into how much money I would need to put down to reach my cashflow goal. 

I am local to Los Angeles - based in Orange County.A bit about me: I’m a civil engineer by profession with experience in local government.

We’re based in Reno/Tahoe, so feel free to reach out if you’d ever want to chat. 

@Eric L ConryI would base it on your cash flow NEEDS, not wants.
