I’ve been watching the MLS and there hasn’t been anything that will cash flow in our area over $400 monthly that doesn’t require a complete Reno or is in a questionable area that would attractive unsavory tenants.

Thanks in advance.SamHi Sam, I think you should stay on the road and continue to make BIG money (because it's better to be a rich insane man then a poor one), and milk it for all it has.Some advice, straight from D-Town (You only get one shot--do not blow it): https://www.youtube.com/watch?

@Mike Dymskijust to clarify i am talking about a low income are, class c or maybe its even a class D in my opinion 90% of the people in such areas do not have savings the reason why i would consider the lady with less than 2 times the rent.Frst of all she has all the money ready and seems to be very responsible, i have rented to numerous tenants in the past so i can tell even such a small thing like filling in every small detail in the application {my application has a lot of questions some that most see as irrelevant}. she also has an old car unlike most that buy or lease newer cars just shows how responsible she is, and she seems to be very nice {dont jump on me, i know exactly how it can turn in to lol} AND she has an excellent credit history and that says a lot!!!

I listen to the podcast and I watch videos, but there are a few questions I still have. 1.

Cincinnati Area Investors - Just moved to the Cincinnati area in January - Been driving for dollars, networking at REI events, and watching the MLS to get my first deal in this area, but thought I'd get active on BiggerPockets as well. 

Another we bought had a 30 yr old furnace & when we were made aware of the high heating costs the two old ladies (lived there 14 years) were paying we offered to install a new HI Efficiency furnace & raise the rent $225/month. 

I can tell you that cash flowing retirement with rental property gives me significantly more comfort than watching the stock and living on 4% withdrawals for the rest of my life.

I've watched it happen with my own clients. 

Watch that bird fly away.

I watched a genius yesterday on the Bigger Pockets Podcast show yesterday and he said he invests in higher end properties regardless of any cash flow whatsoever because he counting on the appreciation of those high end properties with the Housing Prices of today what a total idiot.
