I purchased all cash for my first deal for a few reasons.

I've done the numbers and they don't work as a flip nor do they work for someone to buy cash and rent it out.

Hi,I have been investing in Securities for a while, but I would like to start building a portfolio of Real Estate Positive Cash Flowing Properties in Ontario (Hamilton, Barrie, Oshawa, or Toronto).

because of the issues you guys are facing. now maybe these folks are paying cash to build as well ?

I believe that successfully navigating this initial investment will pave the way for future opportunities, whether in the same market or elsewhere.Living in New York City, I faced a challenging market ;)I chose Montgomery, Alabama.Here's my process:I compiled a list of states with favorable landlord laws.Using Brightinvestor, I identified cities within those states where the median home price falls below the national average ($420k).I excluded cities with negative income growth and rising unemployment rates.I focused on cities with strong appreciation rates over the past five years (over 10%).I compared price-to-rent ratios.I did break two rules: Montgomery has a slight decline in population, and its largest employers are an Air Force base and government agencies.One significant factor that influenced my decision was the promising price-to-rent ratio, suggesting potential for positive cash flow (though I remain cautious about appreciation).Regarding my acquisition strategy:I plan to employ the BRRR method with cash.

With a knack for creativity and a passion for forging connections, I am here to bridge the gap between investors, cash buyers, and their next property.

I'm a cash investor with a few million that I'm looking to build a portfolio with.

We managed to rent it for above the price of the mortgage, so it is cash flowing.

I noticed that rents for LTR are pretty high but still will not be enough for positive cash flow.

PPL is one you should start it, simply because it has the shortest cash cycle when you are cash strapped.
