Once these mortgages are paid off and/or generating more cash flow, we intend to use them as passive income for retirement and retain the option to access the equity for emergencies. 

Now it could sell for $2.1M.- Would you sell for a gross profit of $300K or keep it, with a cash flow of about $1,500 a month? 

It is still possible to have a positive cash flowing property but you have to be smart, run the numbers and hunt for the right deal.

I found a duplex that currently cash flows very well even with today's rates. 

Purchase price: $1,170,000 Cash invested: $900,00016 Unit Value-add property we significantly renovated spending $35k per unit doing interiors, exteriors, and amenities.

For investors, multi-family properties are great for cash flow, and local networking is key.

I recently flipped my first property and it was a cash purchase.

Which I currently still hold, and cash flow decently.

This is a single-family home in a commercial and multifamily zone, so I believe that if the right investor obtained this property, it could be acquired at a higher price due to its potential for significantly higher cash flow.I'm wondering if I can increase my asking price because of the property's zoning potential.

With the additional cash coming in maybe the next journey for you is figuring out how to diversify in another asset?
