Purchase price: $200,000 Cash invested: $20,000 Sale price: $377,000 This was the first house I ever purchased.

Take into consideration the mortgage, taxes, insurance, HOA fees, and cash reserves for home repairs or replacements.

Hi,I am just starting out and have $20,000 in cash invested in the S&p 500.

The cost of living is extremely low compared to other cities and you can still many many positive cash flowing and 1% deals here.

Additionally, it can help maximize renovations and improvements.A Cost Segregation study is an IRS approved federal income tax tool that increases near term cash flow by utilizing shorter recovery periods for depreciation to accelerate return on investment.

And I still didn’t base the purchase on the ratio of property to land, but upon the cash flow the property produces.  

And we weren't looking to cash flow upon move out in this housing market, we just wanted a reasonable payment (PITI-rents) while we live there and for it to break even if we move out. 

Everything Paige said and a few more.All vehicles must be licensed, tabbed and operableNo water beds, pools, portable heaters, portable dishwashers, portable clothes washers or dryers shall be used on the premises without prior written consent of agent/owner.No dust, sand, dirt, rubbish, coffee grounds, feminine products or other foreign material shall be flushed or washed down toilets,sinks, or wash basins.

Purchase price: $205,000 Cash invested: $175,000 This was quite the rare deal in the South Philly neighborhood of Point Breeze, located a few blocks south of Washington Ave and 22nd St this corner property while only having a lot size of 16x64 was 2000 sqft!

I could also use my cash out refinance to complete this as well but I also wanted to get into another brrrr and this may slow me down using all my cash without really being able to pull it out unless I HELOC after completion.
