Where do you expect to see potential cash flows vanish?

As my real estate investment experience progressed, I couldn't help but notice a thirst for knowledge among potential investors.

You have to use sales price minus sales expenses to figure out what amount you need to buy.You can potentially factor in your suspended passive losses to determine how much 'boot' you can receive.

Having just found out when credit is pulled and the appraisal is done in the loan process, I now think we may not be in an ideal position, and potentially not in a position at all, to take out a 30 Year Loan in the coming weeks.I believe adjusting course, at least temporarily, may be the only way to continue moving forward.

The free equity that was in the house and the potential to build even more easy equity.

@Sam Booth most investors want to see a spread of at least 30%, but this is an oversimplification because it doesn't consider important factors like: how much money you're putting down, how much the repairs will cost, how much of your time and effort the repairs will require, the appreciation potential, the cashflow potential, and a myriad of other important factors. 

This situation is especially tough for VA home buyers like myself, who may need to cover an appraisal gap of potentially $10,000 to $20,000 under the appraised value.

To kickstart this project, a comprehensive home energy audit is on my agenda to craft a strategic retrofit plan that significantly enhances operational efficiency by 40-70%.This endeavor seeks to diverge from common quick fixes, such as installing baseboard heaters, which merely shift heating costs to tenants.

Revenues for Short Term Rentals in a lot of markets are way down this year, some well above a 20% decrease, the other thing to think about is do you even have the time/energy to do an STR?

Here are some considerations:Higher Initial Investment: Multi-family properties are generally more expensive than single-family homes, requiring a higher down payment and potentially higher financing costs.Management Complexity: Managing multiple tenants, leases, and potential tenant issues can be more complex and time-consuming.Local Market Demand: The demand for multi-family units can vary significantly by location, potentially affecting rental income and property value.If you are more interested in Class A or B properties and have a less cash flow-dependent plan, residential properties can be a simpler place to start.
