I continue to increase rents in our area.

A significant portion of income in the area is allocated to mortgage payments, making it an attractive market for investors.

You can use the loan to cover the purchase price and then work on adjusting the rent to market rates to increase cash flow.

My question regards down payment sizing, I am wondering if it would be a bad idea to put a larger downpayment on a house to increase cash flow as me and my brother don't see our college years as a time where we can dedicate our full energy into finding/managing deals (and if we do we could always refinance to pull out our equity).

Right, I wasn't clear enough.My main goal is to purchase properties in areas that I believe will develop in the future and the value of the properties will increase.In order to increase the cash flow (to cover current expenses) I am checking the possibility of doing arbitrage 

Then after 1 year I moved out and rented the Main home as a LTR and the DADU as an MTR, which significantly increased my cash flow.

Cool opportunity you have their the most important dynamic to your deal is the NOIif you have a manager it does show a professional approach to managing the asset but that does not mean value will be more because of it.So to show more value you would need to add value to property tenants by improving the property in such a way that it increases the rental revenue to increase the value also depending on how you structure the deal upfront and the financing can play a key part in getting this deal the max value

Now what would one do to increase my assets buy another rental property or do ??

A Cost Segregation study is an IRS approved federal income tax tool that increases near term cash flow by utilizing shorter recovery periods for depreciation to accelerate return on investment.

Hey everyone, I have several properties owned free and clear that I'm looking to pull cash out of and was all lined up with a lender who then backed out because the properties are land leased from the local water district. 60 yr leases with incremental increases that I can renew at the end of the 60 yr term.
