For instance, if those cashflowing rental deals give you a 10% cash on cash return when you have a property manager running them, and you want to have $100,000 a year in cash flow, you will need $1,000,000 in equity.

Deals are there but every 1% you add to the interest or percentage you give up in equity makes the deals harder to make work.

I will continue to purchase properties for 20k or less to own free and clear with 50k plus in equity every month!

MI of $100 per month drops after 6 months due to having over 20% in equity.

If you don't have 15% or 20% in equity in the property, you can also put more money into that (the same money you would use for the down payment on the new primary can be used, instead, as helping with getting you to that 15% or 20% equity threshold to qualify for a DSCR or Conventional investment loan). 

The SFH has over $100,000 in equity and the Condo has $60,000 in equity.

You read about things that you cant really understand until you experience them and with RE investing that is very much true.(1) I bought an REO property with a 203k loan that gave me about 100k in equity.

I dont go for huge cash flow I just go for increase in equity and hold for short time and sell, trying to be cautious in this market.But the real problem people are facing is rent is going up and up. $2000 is getting average for alot of small 2 beds. 

I see the example now.Them having $80k in equity (only owing $20k) doesn't mean the house is worth $80k so I agree that if they are happy with $50k, they are "making" money when you buy/wholesale it.

I do not want to cough up another $50k in equity to bring down the payment.I can’t think of any other options other than pulling out and losing my deposit.
