Those properties are cheap for a reason. 

If I pay it off, I could maximize cash flow earlier, reducing financial stress and allowing me to focus on other ventures or simply enjoy life more.On the other hand, I know some people advocate for keeping cheap debt and using the extra cash to invest elsewhere for potentially higher returns.Why I’m leaning toward paying it off:Security: No debt = peace of mind.Financial freedom earlier: A fully paid-off rental would give me a significant monthly cash flow?

I would love to hear from current franchise owners, be it HomeVestors, Red Barn, New Again Homes, Flip Cheap Homes, or any other flipping/wholesaling franchises out there.

Cheap houses in lower class neighborhoods will get you cash flow with a lot of headache.

Contractors will make or break your rehab. 2. get 3 quotes for everything. 3. closing costs for refinancing is not cheap and you definitely need to take that into consideration when running your numbers. 

Unit size is 1000 SF with an assumed $105 SF cost to build, (Cheap considering there will be no GC costs). 

TLDR: Quicken (quickbook’s little brother) is super easy, cheap, and still overkill for someone with less than 20 properties.

If you're open to exploring new markets, this could be a great way to pick up properties for cheap and build cash flow with a much smaller upfront investment.

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!).

You also do not want to be too cheap and leave money on the table.If you do all of that you will be well on your way to being successful.
