If I didn't mind being a little negative on cash flow then I would buy in Gilbert.

If you're willing and able, I do recommend the "house hacking" strategy which is just a fancy name for buying a rental property and living in one of the units, because you'll get very favorable financing - an owner-occupied fixed-rate 30-year mortgage.I'd also say, analyze that property as if you won't live there and it's a pure rental, and make sure the property is still cash flow positive if there's a tenant in your unit because then you'll know if it's actually a good investment.And when you analyze it, include payment of a property manager in your #s because if you don't, and doing so would make it go cash flow negative, then you've just bought yourself a job because you literally can't step away from managing it without losing money.

- A 0% down, seller financed deal, typically equates to little to negative cashflow!

Every day I mark how many calls to leads I made, how many people I contacted (and was it email, call, text) from my database/past clients....how many social media posts I answered or made, etc.I don't know if that's automating, but every week I can quickly see how much of each money generating thing I did.Do you use Google Calendar? 

I do have monthly mortgages to be paid and not having rental income to offset my negative cash flow has been a learning experience and really trying to think of what options I have to have better success at this.

Just remember: most negative reviews are written by problematic tenants.

Instead of inspiring confidence, they overwhelm the seller with negativity.

Curious as another poster is intrigued by the 24% but it sounds like your return is negative 100%.

My bridge rate is 10% and results in a $1,500/month PITI payment.The negative cash flow stings but is worth it for the equity.

Hi,I'm not a wholesaler, but I am looking at methods that wholesalers might generate leads.
