I'm buying the house for cash flow purposes and don't want to sell for awhile.House has good school district and good area overall.

After that we will transfer the ownership of the property to me, then I will rent it out and I will own a cash flowing property right out of college. 

I personally love the Cleveland market for its cash flow.

Dayton has more cash flow - and Columbus has a higher predicted appreciation rate 

Know that there is still robust demand for Austin housing and that prices are still considerably higher than just a few years ago.

But I've had a lot of issues with the accuracy of Zillow's estimate in terms of accuracy as it really isn't; in my opinion, structured to predict changes in rent over time or take into consideration any additional amenities or upgrades.

What's the current situation in terms of cash flow?

I'd house hack a few times and get some equity and cash flow going over the next few years and see how that gives you more options in the future. 

There's been talk of how these will intersect and it's already happening in some spaces and I'm not talking about Metaverse Real Estate (Although I think some of that will make some people VERY wealthy).I'm talking about real physical real estate providing access to crypto investing and returns, and here's the crazy part...It has the potential to offer all the great things real estate does like depreciation, hedge against inflation and cash flow, all while exposing you to the high reward of Bitcoin's upside and decentralized nature. 

Usually, 20 to 30 units is the tipping point for self-management, so you might want to keep expanding your doors until you feel the benefits of that cash flow (as well as the pain of the management).
