The common refrains of Cash Flow is King, appreciation is a bonus, set up systems to scale quickly, brings with them two underappreciated facts. 1. having more than 10-20 rentals becomes another JOB.

We are wondering how to get started - had a feeling cash is king so thanks for the clarification! 

We used over 10,000 AirBnB reviews to pick out the top rated mattress (zinus memory foam $399 for a king), the best platform beds (Wayfair, $299 a king), the best lighting (daylight LED), basically everything.

Cash is still king but it def helped make me a contender in a tight market. 

@Michael King I miss Vancouver a lot!

Parts of South Lebanon are definitely on the rise, especially if it's in King's School District.

North Linden, South of Main, Vassor Village, Woodland Park, MT Vernon, Milo-Grogan, Franklinton, Merrion Village, Hungarian Village, Southern Orchards, Driving Park, Olde Towne East, Franklin Park, King Lincoln, Old Oaks, Livingston Park are all but not limited to some areas in Columbus, Ohio I think will gentrify quickly and make for great long term buy and holds or flips.You should probably start off in a C neighborhood as that has the lowest cost to enter in Columbus.

Don't let King Andy scare you from buying locally- I personally wouldn't invest OOS for your first deal or two especially with no experience.

(See also Outliers - The 10,000 Hour Rule by Malcolm Gladwell)Cash Is KingI think it's because I started my investment in Toledo rental properties (2009) when banks weren't loaning, prices were crazy-low, and CASH WAS KING that I have always stuck to that method for purchase.

At the end of the day, CASH is still king in Real Estate Investing and you want to be able to move quickly.
