My main goal is cash flow right now since I have recently retired and the money coming in each month is important to me.I would love to connect with other investors in the area and get some advice from people who have had success in Charleston. 

There are likely more investors that will want the cash flow as a landlord, so in that case selling with some tenants, but also room for the investor to finish lease up to help their overall return would be beneficial.Back to my opening statement, investment sales brokers would be able to give you better guidance.

Lastly, foreclosures at courthouse auctions are cash only and 10 percent down at the time of sale, without full guarantee on all of the liens associated with the property.

Doubtful that, unless you have existing connections or are part of the Hotel Association of New York City (or what is the funded organization in your area), you would be able to cash in on that.I don't do business in New York or CT, and am open to being corrected by someone local.  

Purchase price: $810,000 Cash invested: $200,000 Bought an SFR that needed a cosmetic rehab and had an unfinished basement.

Happy to add some insight into that market, feel free to reach out to me!

Purchase price: $118,000 Cash invested: $118,000This is the first property I bought.

That said, I wouldn't advise someone to get into the game if the goal is short term cash flow unless they were super savvy. 

The multi-family house hack can also work to increase cash flow other than just renting out spare bedrooms. 

This isn't worth taking for free.
