I currently invest here in Columbus, Ohio and I have two duplexes over here that are cash-flowing well.

Purchase price: $118,000 Cash invested: $30,000 This is a single family property this is rented by the room.

Cash flow may not be positive after accounting for other expenses like your annual property taxes, insurance, and mortgage payments if applicable.

Additionally, the price point is still cheap enough to find the 1% rule and positive cash flow and it's super landlord friendly (so you will never have to go through a 12 month eviction or anything close to that!).

Purchase price: $176,000 Cash invested: $80,000 Off-Market Deal in Southern Orchards that was found through cold-calling.

All were bought in 2023 or 2024:- Virginia: $50,000 - 1.5 acres- Vermont: $33,000 - 3.3 acres- Tennessee: $34,000 - 1.4 acres- Maine: $27,000 - 1.1 acresTotal: $144,000 - 7.3 acresWe bought all for cash with the intention to build on each in due time, depending on where we can first have all ducks in a row: general contractor, permits, etc.

The problem is in a lot of those cases there is no potential to cash flow unless you are putting 30-40% down.

Which of these towns are suitable for cash-flow with multifamily investing in your experience with good income growth and appreciation?  

@Jack Lindstromdefinitely house hack. and if you're trying to 'cash flow' a house hack - reframe your thinking. 

Besides hiring a realtor to do a traditional listing or selling to a "cash for homes" company, what other options might I have for finding potential buyers?
