– Considering Class A properties with established tenants• Less focus on appreciation – Prioritizing income stability over potential future gains Current Opportunity: I’m evaluating a retail property in downtown Portland with:• >80% occupancy, most tenants in place for 10+ years• Decent cap rate (6-7%), NNN lease• Well-maintained, high-quality building, with existing HOA which will take care of maintenance. 

.- Low Interest Rates: Competitive interest rates make property ownership accessible, especially for those with stable income like service members.- Military Presence: With U.S. military bases across Germany, local banks are accustomed to assisting service members with financing.How to Qualify1.

I'm not sure what market you are in but for me MKE was a cash flow market which is the type of RE I was most interested in as replacing my 9-5 income was top priority.

Building a rental portfolio that replaces your income takes years and a lot of effort, this is especially true in our high price high interest rate market.You need to have at least a 10 year vision when buying real estate.

I believe in putting in the work—1,000 hours of research, testing, and learning—before offering advice, and I’m excited to tap into the collective wisdom of this community to refine my approach.Here’s where my head is at: I’m considering strategies like short-term rentals (Airbnb) for higher cash flow, long-term rentals for steady income, or even creative options like house hacking or partnerships to stretch the funds further.

For those that are familiar with the area; Is there a strong rental market in Augusta to focus on rental income, and if so, which areas should I focus on?  

Long story short, you spend a month cleaning and renovating, then you find a new tenant after just 15 days.In total, you lost three months of rent income ($3,000) plus paying utilities ($500).

@Baris Keser concluded that most of the listings on roofstock are overpriced compared to all the homes that are sold/for sale in the area and also current rental income and market rental income is about 10-15% over the comps as well.

The net rental income should be about 65% more than the mortgage. 

My vision for CountOnCam LLC is to be a company that would like to provide a shared housing experience for women and children, immigrants, and low income families.
