Over three decades, I've not seen a ton of situations where no money down/100% leverage has worked well. 

Personally, I invest in properties in C-Class neighborhoods in my market (East Linden and Southern Hilltop), and they’ve been cash-flowing well so far.

I’ll send you a dm to connect as well!

Ryan, I appreciate your insight as well.

I am well versed in pretty much every facet of Real Estate: house hack, LTR/MTR/STR, multifamily, and fix and flips primarily.Aside from that I am also (somewhat) a serial entrepreneur, having started and sold multiple business' over the last 15 years.I also meet with 20+ professionals every week, through referral groups, meetups, and just 1 on 1 sessions trying to get to know people and make connections.I would love to chat with you if you are looking to meet people and get more information about real estate in San Diego!

Hello, I am looking to invest in Cumberland as well.

Small talk, showing empathy, and expressing genuine interest in their situation can go a long way in establishing trust and goodwill.Be Willing to Walk AwayOne of the most powerful negotiating tools is the ability to walk away.

I also assume you’re investing in an area with increasing rents so look at 3-5 years out with increased rents an it better cashflow well if rent isn’t stagnant. 

That is enough albeit only a cheaper property and, while I don't know Florida that well, I doubt there are many in that price range. 

(Michael's posts are a great resource for this, but still no substitute for working directly with a tax accountant that's well-versed in all the ins-and-outs of this.)
