On demand Cash flow is always available in the market by selling options.

Demand is insane for rentals under $1600/month. 

@Kevin Zolea it depends on the size of the unit and the demand but I’ve seen $50-$300

Demand in the market can be influenced by job growth & net migration, industry breakdown of the market, new product coming online, landlord/tenant laws, and many other factors.Location - is it in a good or bad part of town?

We both have great w-2 jobs that are really demanding and have always wanted to add to our portfolio a few rental properties.

But there is so much demand in other markets prices keep going up.

Multifamily properties are in high demand, so they are priced high and still sell quickly.

Keep in mind there is not too much available this time either, so the lower demand meets also lower supply.We have a new 4 bed single family on the east side for $2,350 and had 5 showings / 2 applications this weekend, that's a fairly good outcome in this price range, which is naturally much slower than under $1,500.One of my mantras is that the house will pick the tenants - a nice house will attract nice tenants, a wired house will attract wired tenants.

These include your experience in the specific business and in business in general; your business knowledge and acumen; your ability to make decisions under pressure; ability to manage other people; ability to handle demanding clients in highly volatile situations, marketing knowledge and ability, amount of capital, and of course luck.You’ve got to ask yourself if you really have the attributes to run a successful business.

The demand for rentals will only increase.
