On the other hand, A LOT depends on your purchase price and your level of efficiency in operations.

I am small lodging operator in North Augusta, SC.

Difficult to generate positive cash flow at that cost.

I also know there is no perfect plan to follow when getting started but I'm trying to weigh the pros/cons of going the SFH route (at first), pay cash for the first couple, generate that cashflow and build it from there.

I own and operate a woodworking business building tables and bars and very custom items for clients.

Now it is a lot of cars that are not operating (often on the yard).  

The back-up plan is to simply flip the property and take the cash out now for the next project.The Project (2 unit Multi-Family):Acquisition/rehabLand Acquisition:     275k (I'd use my cash to buy)Hard Money Loan:  100k (I might use my home equity line at 4% APR over 20)ARV:                           465k (This is my best assumption based on other comps)Refinance:                348,650Cash out:                  26,250Income:Rent:                         1800x2 (This is conservative)Capex/Maint.          300x2Expenses:                400 (water/trash/electric/sewage/insurance)Using these numbers the property looks like it generates a COC return of about 30% per anum (on the 26k outstanding).

-I came across HappyCo but we are just to small of an operation (19 units) at this point to justify a $499 monthly cost.

Looking to do some buy and hold outside of CA to generate some cash flow.

With double deposit escrow smart contract, the deposit account is only generated between the buyer and seller, and is only controlled by them.I understand that this new technology has gotten a bad rep from criminals evading taxes and rampant speculation from others, but it's simply an unfortunate side effect of any newly emerging technology.
