There's still tons of positive cash flow and deals that hit the 1% rule plus amazing appreciation potential!

In Cleveland they cash flow well and you can build a foundation of knowledge this way and a base you can expand upon in the future if desired. 

Your cash on cash is still phenomenal.

Just no cash flow.

I assume your dad is giving your sister cash in the amount of the discount he gives you on the house?

@Brenda FreemanI think seller finance can make sense when you can get an at or above market price; you don't need the proceeds; you want the monthly income; and delaying the proceeds will make sense from a tax perspective.If you are saying there's an existing mortgage you would have to pay off yourself, then I don't think that makes any sense - why would you want to invest your own cash to make this work?

I’m inheriting a tenant who has lived at the property for 24 years and never missed a payment.  

I know a plumber who won’t even do work for $150 an hour cash because he’s booked out working 7 days a week. call around to some other people and see what they say.

@Alec Jacobs- for simplicity - I would keep all utilities in your own name ...if you have agreed with tenants that they are to pay the utilities - then you can forward the bills to them as well as reminding them about when they need to have payment made .   

Purchase price: $380,000 Cash invested: $19,648 Sale price: $485,000 Not really a portfolio investment as it currently my personal residence, but I'd still consider it an investment.
