Its a great place for cash flow and depending on your investment strategy there is a very wide range of types of investments.I have been working on the investment side of real estate for several years now and know the city very well when it comes to buy and holds.I own a few myself and have and have wholesaled and worked with a ton of buy and hold investors.You need to be careful of what you are really buy in SA though as what you are experiencing in Austin is happening here as well but mainly on in low-end properties.

You could also have a low income earner that pays every bill on time, even if they have to give plasma to come up with the cash.

Hi Taye,The tenants pay for the gas and electric.Yes I have heard quite a lot of debate on these however after speaking with a few contractors and consulting some websites for advice it seems that due to being such a small place and having only a couple of people the demand is quite low therefore it would be efficient to get one.Thanks

I have crunched numbers and offered low on some places. 

Places like South Euclid or Cleveland Heights that require low to medium rehab but no full rehabs.

For established agents, go for the high split/low cap, low fee brokerages.  

A couple things that jump out at me are the low taxes, reasonably priced homes compared to rents, and the landlord friendly laws.

I feel like they are asking too much fo the purchase price considering the rent price being on the low side.

I'm looking for a passive, low-risk incomeEXPERIENCE: Very Little.  

The education you'll gain from that experience will far outweigh the low salary/wages that you'll be paid.
