Finding good tenants is key to positive yearly cash flow.

I am looking for cash flow.  

How did they know the property they would invest in would cash flow and/or build equity over the long run?

And if you're curious about which areas in Columbus can bring in positive cash flow, I've got some insights to share.

Hi, I'm very interested in this area if anyone who has properties there would like to provide any insight as to expectations of cash flow and neighborhoods.

Plenty of building code considerations I'm sure given hot water heater right there.My first thought to monetize is to lease commercial grade equipment - maybe 2 stackable W/D - with revenue-sharing from a company that would provide the equipment at no up front cost and handle maintenance.

Is cash flow the main objective?

High Maintenance Costs: Escalating maintenance costs can erode your profit margins.Change in Neighborhood Dynamics: Shifts in the neighborhood that negatively affect your property’s value are a red flag.Better Investment Opportunities: Selling might be wise if you've identified a more lucrative investment opportunity.Cash Flow Necessities: If you need liquidity, selling a property can provide a significant cash inflow.Tax Implications: Sometimes, selling can be advantageous for tax reasons, especially if you can benefit from capital gains tax laws.Personal Financial Changes: Changes in your personal financial situation may necessitate liquidating assets.Retirement Planning: Selling investment properties can be part of transitioning into retirement.Portfolio Diversification: Selling might be necessary to avoid overconcentration in real estate.Legal or Regulatory Changes: New laws or regulations can impact the attractiveness of holding onto a property.Ownership Challenges: If the burden of ownership outweighs the benefits, it may be time to sell.Real Estate Market Trends: Anticipating a downturn in the market can be a reason to sell early.Interest Rates: Rising interest rates can reduce the pool of potential buyers and lower property values.Property Value Appreciation: If your property has appreciated significantly, taking profits might be smart.Lifestyle Changes: Sometimes, personal life changes dictate a shift in investment strategies.ConclusionDeciding to sell an investment property is a complex decision influenced by market conditions, personal circumstances, and future investment goals.

This will be my first investment property and I know NY is not an investor-friendly state but the cash flow with this deal makes it worth it to take it down.  

Do you need cash flow right now?
