I was part of a companythat was buying companies back in 2008 and many companies back then scaled way to fast and ended up going broke from cash flow issues.

I even do my Lease Options through escrow to make sure the mortgages are paid and seller's don't walk with the cash leaving me a foreclosed property and no way to collect.

I would provide the cash and backup reserves, I house hack one of the units, then she becomes the cosigner for me in order to be approved.

Also feel free to contact me to get on my cash buyer list for future deals.Thanks, Art Weller

If you want to cash flow 200/mo in a class b location, you most properties to have 100/mo cash flow so your deal gets you to 200/mo.In the end, I think you will have wished you bought in Austin but good luck either way.Ps In before someone recommends colombus ohio.

You're going to need to put 25% cash down since you'll be needing a commercial loan.

Cash flow is the name of the game when it comes to controlling the asset so you are right it really doesn't matter whether the value goes up or down as long as you can carry it. 

If so you can look into Cash Re-Fi (not as popular these days with high rates) OR look into Home Equity Loan / Home Equity Line of Credit.

I currently own two properties, one of them is cash flowing nicely in Arizona. 

I had one tenant complain that he could never get hot water in his washing machine and that it made a strange clicking sound.
