@Roy GottesdienerIf I had six homes and $500k In equity but only cash flowed $1500 I would sell them and buy a $500k home that rents for $3k a month.

If your buying a building that’s $500k, you need to be getting at least $5k a month if not more or it’s not worth looking at in my opinion unless there is some other revenue source (ability to add bedrooms or units, air bnb) or you can increase rents substantially.

One of my earlier rentals didn't cash flow at first, but after a few years, rents went up and now it does.
